You may customize Garmin Que to fit your needs, such as
selecting the units of measure, map orientation, map detail,
routing preferences and others. For now, the Que default
settings should be adequate for learning how to use the
applications with the exception of the units preferences
explained in this section. Information on customizing each
of the various Que applications is explained in the sections
describing each Que application.
Connecting to the GPS Receiver
The wireless GPS receiver
must be turned On and
communicating with the
PDA via Bluetooth wireless
technology. It also must
initialize (determine its
location) before you can
begin using it for navigation.
When the receiver initializes
for the first time it may take
as long as 15 minutes. This
time can be shortened by using the GPS application to select
the general area in which you are currently located (see page 2).
Anytime you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS
receiver turned off, the receiver must again find its location by
re-initializing.
If for any reason, you have difficulty initializing your receiver,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 21. The solution
could be as simple as moving the receiver slightly to avoid
buildings or objects that are blocking or deflecting satellite
signals. When operating on battery power, the PDA normally
turns off after the last key press to save power. When connected
to the GPS receiver it actually switches to low-power mode
maintaining communication with the GPS but turning off the
display. Press the Power button to re-activate the display.
To turn the receiver on and initialize it:
1. Turn On both the GPS receiver and your PDA to
establish a connection.
2. Make certain the receiver’s view of the sky is
unobstructed.
3. Access QueGPS from the Applications Launcher.
4. Observe the following GPS receiver status indicators on
the GPS page:
• Current satellite reception information-
While establishing a link with the GPS receiver a “
Connecting to GPS” message displays.
When the GPS receiver is on and searching for
satellite signals. the message “Acquiring Satellites”
appears.
When only enough satellite signals are being received
to determine a 2D location, “2D GPS Location”
displays.
When enough satellite signals are being received to
establish a location fix, a “3D GPS Location” message
displays.
When the GPS Receiver is turned off, a “GPS Off”
message displays.
• The location and numbers of overhead satellites.
• Your current location coordinates.
• The current date and time.
• Your current speed.
• Your approximate elevation.
• The accuracy at which your location has been fixed.
