Getting Satellite Signals, The GPSView Program
Your Zypad WL1000 features an integrated 12 Channel GPS system. GPSView is a program
developed by Eurotech; it is demonstration software for viewing GPS data.
STARTING THE GPSVIEW PROGRAM
The steps below show you how to start GPSView and get signals from up to 12 satellites.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Eurotech > GPSView
2. The WL1000 automatically starts searching for satellites. A timer on the right automatically
starts counting until the first satellite fix is acquired.
NOTES:
When you are running the acquiring process for the first time you
can speed up the satellite detection by leaving your WL1000 in a
vertical position (screen rotated 90° counter clockwise). In this
way the integrated GPS antenna is directed
It can take a few minutes to acquire satellites and fix your
position, if one or more of the following conditions are verified
since you last fixed your position:
a. It is first time you are running the acquiring process
b. The geographic area has changed
c. A lot of time (several days) has passed
In these cases, in order to speed up the satellite detection the
suggested procedure is to tap STOP in the RUN CTRL section
and then tap COLD START
