From this window, you can view or adjust these settings, or perform the following actions:
●
Enable GPS — To use GPS, and to configure other GPS settings, this check box must be selected. If
the GPS privacy agreement opens, you must accept it before you can use GPS.
●
GPS Mode — How often the device should obtain a fix.
Ⅲ
One-time — Use a single fix. Use this option if you’ll be using your device at the same location.
Ⅲ
Continuous — Obtain fixes on a regular basis. Also known as auto-tracking. Useful for
navigation or turn-by-turn (TBT) applications (for example, driving directions).
●
Mapping Service — The mapping service (for example, Google Maps or MapQuest) that displays
the GPS results (in a separate browser window).
●
Performance Value — Amount of time the device should wait for a satellite to be discovered.
Ⅲ
Automatic — The device automatically determines the most appropriate setting to use.
Ⅲ
Manual — In the input field, enter the number of seconds the device should wait for a satellite to
be discovered. If this time is exceeded, an error is reported.
●
Accuracy
Ⅲ
Automatic — The device automatically determines the most appropriate setting to use.
Ⅲ
Manual — In the input field, enter the number of meters to which the data must be accurate.
Note: If the value is very small (i.e. very high accuracy), the fix may fail.
●
Fix Rate — The smaller the number, the more up-to-date the location tracking will be, at the cost of
shorter battery life of the device. Available only if GPS Mode is set to Continuous .
●
Metric Units — Specifies whether to use the metric system when displaying the GPS results (for
example, the altitude, speed, HEPE).
●
Get fix now — This button starts a one-time fix (not displayed if GPS Mode [above] is Continuous or
a GPS session is already in progress). If you change the value from Continuous to One-time , you
must click Save before your changes take effect and the fix becomes possible.
