Chapter 3 OPERATING DETAILS
The Explorer Handheld GPS is a miniature computer, composed of a CPU, memory
IC and operation system (OS), called HOLUX OS. It is designed to receive the satellite
signals once every 100 milli-second, i.e. 10 times per second, and to calculate all the
retrieved data in the CPU. In that case, there will be some delay after you press a
button. Also its processing speed is not as quick as a desktop computer for the sake
of low power consumption.
