. Your GPS receiver begins acquiring satellite data and the GPS Status dialog area
displays.
•
The GPS Status dialog area displays on your screen so that you can view the status of your
GPS connection while your GPS receiver acquires data from the satellites. Once your GPS
receiver acquires a fix on your location, Street Atlas USA 2005 indicates your position on
the map as a yellow or green dot that changes to an arrow as you travel.
•
While your receiver is acquiring data, many red dots display on your map (except with
Magellan receivers). You may have to zoom in to see them clearly. These red dots are
positioned at the readings taken by the GPS receiver as it is acquiring data.
•
For more information on the GPS Status dialog area, see
Monitoring Your GPS Status
on
page 94.
•
Magellan receivers do not display any data until you are moving.
•
If you have the HotSync
®
manager loaded in the startup (the default configuration), it
reserves the COM port. If that is the one where the GPS receiver is attached, you must exit
HotSync manager to get the GPS receiver to initialize. This can be done by right-clicking
the HotSync icon on the taskbar and selecting the Exit option from the shortcut menu. If
you have two COM ports, verify the correct COM port is selected for use with Street Atlas
USA 2005.
•
Any questions or problems regarding the operation of your GPS receiver should be directed
to its manufacturer.
