Setting the GPS Mode

2.
Click the GPS icon (on the left side of the home page).

In the GPS Information and Settings window, under GPS Mode, select one of the following:
䡲

— Use a single fix. Use this option if you’ll be using your device at the same
location.
Tip:
If you want to get a fix now, click the
Get fix now
button.
䡲
Continuous
— Obtain fixes on a regular basis. Also known as auto-tracking. Useful for
navigation or turn-by-turn (TBT) applications (for example, driving directions).
