What You Need to Get Started
1. A Host Device
A Bluetooth enabled host device (i.e. PDA, smartphone, laptop, etc.) is needed
to receive GPS input data. Each host device receives GPS input differently.
Consult the instructions of your particular host device on how to enable your
device to receive GPS input.
2. GPS or Mapping Software
Before you begin using your mini-S3 BTGPS Receiver you must complete the
application software installation tasks on your host device. Different software
programs configure the GPS input differently. Consult your software’s user
manual to configure the software to accept GPS input.
If you do not have mapping software, in this User Guide CD-ROM, there is the
“Crux-View Test Program” (trial version) for testing purpose. Please follow the
step-by-step operation guide indicated and described in the Crux-View (Trial)
Manual file (in .pdf format). This will give you the basic GPS information
needed to proceed.
Note:
The Crux-View Test Program is helpful to have installed if you need
additional technical support.
Note:
(a)
The Crux-View Test Program is a trial version program and is available only
for testing purposes.
(b)
The Crux-View program is only to be used with EMTAC BTGPS units.
(c)
The Current version of Crux-View supports ARM (StrongARM/X Scale) based
PPC.
3. The mini-S3 BTGPS Receiver
The mini needs to be fully charged prior to using it for the first time.
CAUTION:
Use only an EMTAC branded charger with the mini to charge
the receiver. Use of other chargers can result in failure of the unit
and/or its Lithium-ion battery.
