IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING GPS TRACKING 

The  GPS  tracking  function  of  MapKing™  works  on  GPS  satellite  signals  broadcasted  for 

civilian use. It is subject to inherent signal deviations and environmental interferences caused 

by surroundings and bad weather. We cannot guarantee nor specify a precise level of accuracy 

for the GPS positioning data displayed by MapKing™. It should also be noted that the Unites 

States Department of Defence, who builds and operates the GPS system, is free to turn off or 

down-grade  the  civilian  signals  of  GPS  during  rare  occasions  like  regional  military  conflict. 

Although MapKing™ should work with most GPS receivers on NMEA0183 signal output format 

regardless  of  their  brand  name  or  model;  we  cannot  guarantee  that  MapKing™  integrates 

flawlessly with ALL GPS receivers available in the market. 

 

Please read the package for product information for product support GPS. In this chapter we 

will  discuss  how  to  setup  and  operate  the  GPS  functions,  and  the  functions  provides  by 

MapKing™ R12 with GPS. 

 

5.1  About GPS 

GPS (Global Positioning System) is developed and maintained by the US Defence Department. 

The system was initially deployed for military use but was later open for civilian navigation. The 

system  comprises  of  more  than  24  satellites  on  different  orbits.  The  GPS  receiver  on  the 

ground picks up signals from at least three satellites and calculates its real time position by a 

set of mathematical formulas generally known as ‘triangulation’. 

 

GPS receivers must maintain line-of-sight with the satellites. GPS will not work indoor and its 

accuracy  tends to  degrade  significantly  when  the  receiver  is  located  under  sheltered  area  or 

near high-rise building structure or terrain. 

 

5.2  GPS Startup 

5.2.1 GPS Setup 

GPS receiver needs to establish clear line of sight to receive signals from satellites orbiting in 

the space. If the receiver is placed inside a vehicle or vessel, an extended antenna is normally 

required to pick up signals beyond the enclosed area of the vehicle or vessel. Please note that 

various  types  of  I/O  interface  exist  among  different  types  of  pocket  PC  (even  for  the  same 

brand),  you  should  ensure  that  the  output  interface  of  the  receiver  is  compatible  with  your 

pocket PC. Consult the technical specifications or device dealer of your receiver or pocket PC if 

you are in doubt about compatibility.
