GPS SETTINGS
The Chorus attempts a GPS fix once the recorder is turned on, and whenever it is in the
GPS
Settings
menu. If left on/sleeping, it will attempt a GPS fix every 24 hours. When the recorder
is attempting a fix, it will try for up to 10 minutes. If it is unable to acquire a GPS fix, it will use
the last known location. If it has never had a GPS fix (e.g. brand new recorder or clock battery
just been replaced) and it is unable to get a fix, it will assume that 7am and 7pm are sun rise
and sunset respectively.
To access the
GPS Settings
menu, use the left/right arrows to select the GPS icon
on the
dashboard (see below), then press the
K
button to select.
TRANSECT MODE
Transect mode will use the built-in GPS to save your track as a GPX file by logging GPS points
once per second. To turn on transect mode, use the up/down arrow buttons to select
Transect Mode
, then use the left/right arrow buttons to choose between
(On) and
X
(Off). Note that using transect mode will approximately halve the battery life. While in transect
mode, the GPS icon on the dashboard will change as shown below and the number of points
saved into the track file will be indicated.
Please note:
Transect mode is automatically disabled when the Chorus is turned off & on
again to prevent accidental battery drain. If you intend to undertake a transect, please ensure
to enable transect mode each time you turn on the Chorus.
