Note: When you suspend the Allegro 2, the receiver is in a

low power mode to retain its almanac. When you resume, it

takes a few seconds to get a fix.

GPS/GNSS Accuracy

The GPS/GNSS antenna is in the top of the Allegro 2. Do not

put your hand or another object over the top bumper or

display. This reduces accuracy. The more items between you

and the satellites, the lower the accuracy.

GPS/GNSS Settings

To view or make changes to the GPS/GNSS settings or set up

an external GPS/GNSS receiver, press and hold the GPS/GNSS

status gadget on the Home screen to open the GNSS control

panel.

Scroll through the menu and set up the desired parameters.

Select from pull-down lists and enable or disable

checkboxes and circles by selecting or deselecting them.

„

Programs: Select the program port (COM2 is the default).

Several applications can share the COM port setup as

the GPS/GNSS program port using the GPS Intermediate

Driver (GPSID). See the section on the GPS Intermediate

Driver later in this chapter for details.

„

Hardware: Specifiy the hardware port your GNSS device

is connected to (COM8 is the default) and the baud rate

(internal GNSS uses 115200 baud)
