Compute Initial Position.
For this operation, it is best if you are outside and have a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, this will take much longer and could
result in the eXplorist being unable to compute the initial position
automatically.
The eXplorist begins to compute your initial position. This may take a
few minutes while it is doing a
cold start
.
Normally, when you first turn the eXplorist on it will compute your
position in a matter of seconds when able to do a
warm start
. (An
explanation of
cold start
vs.
warm start
is provided following this
section.)
