Introduction

You can use a GPS receiver and the PFadvantage to collect field position
information for making a map. The GPS receiver sends the exact
coordinates in degrees latitude and degrees longitude to the monitor every
second. You must use a memory card with the monitor to record GPS
position information.

GPS Status
Indicator

The PFadvantage will display a “D” and “G” on the top right corner of the
display to indicate you have a GPS signal. If you do not have a GPS signal
you will see two dashes “- -“.

NOTE:
A “D” indicates that you have a differential signal.
A large “G” indicates that you have a GPS signal and your GPS

receiver is tracking four or more satellites.

A small “g” indicates that you have a GPS signal but your GPS

receiver is tracking only three satellites.


The GPS receiver must track four or more satellites (large “G”) to get an
elevation reading.
