58 GPS Operation
Note: The satellite GPS
signal will only work
outdoors and not inside
buildings or tunnels.
The sensor needs “line-
of-sight” to the sky in
order to receive the
satellite signals.
Step 6:
Connect the GPS sensor (sometimes called a GPS Mouse) to your laptop. The
program will begin detecting the GPS input stream and will display “GPS OK!” once
detection has occurred. When the GPS sensor successfully locks onto the satellite
signal, Longitude and Latitude values will begin to update in the windows on the left.
Note: No Longitude or Latitude information will appear until the sensor locks
onto a valid satellite signal.
Step 7:
You’re now ready to begin entering GPS trigger points. Get in your car! Place the
GPS sensor on the roof (or other mounting location recommended by the GPS sensor
manufacturer). Drive to the first desired trigger point. Once you’re there, click the
mouse into the Latitude box on the first line and hit the Space Bar. GPS Builder
records the coordinate and advances to the next line. After this point all you need to
do is hit the Space Bar each time you want to log another coordinate.
Step 8:
Drive to the next trigger point and hit the Space Bar again. GPS Builder records the
next coordinate. Keep doing this until all of your coordinates have been entered.
Step 9:
Click on File…Save…to save your file. Name the file “PLY00000.GPS”. Make a
backup!
Note: It’s always best to
format the Compact
Flash in the AM-4
before using it.
Step 10:
Copy the playlist to the Compact Flash card you’re going to use in the AM-4, along
with all of the sounds referenced in the playlist.
