Receiving Satellite Signals
The Bluetooth GPS Receiver gets satellite signals
only
when there is a clear view of the sky. Trees
and tall buildings can block the view. Generally, you do not receive signals inside a building.
Once a connection is established between the Bluetooth GPS Receiver and iPAQ PocketPC, satel-
lite signals are received. When you first use the Bluetooth GPS Receiver, it can take from five to
fifteen minutes to receive a satellite signal. Thereafter, it should take approximately 90 seconds to
receive signals.
Based on satellite position, geographic location, and heading, you can experience the following:
The Bluetooth GPS Receiver should be placed on the front or back dashboard
of the vehicle.
A wireless connection between the Bluetooth GPS Receiver and iPAQ Pock-
etPC is established through the receiver radio. The Bluetooth GPS receiver
and the iPAQ PocketPC should be no further than 5-10 meters apart.
Some days, you receive a GPS signal quicker than on other days. Although
GPS signals orbit the earth in set patterns, they are not always over the same
position on earth. There is more extensive coverage over lower latitudes and
less near the poles.
