Chapter 10 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The ES400 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS technology is based on a worldwide
system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals
contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine your location on the
earth.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing,
downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the ES400. Refer to the
application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
