Beep Upon First Fix:
If checked, the GPS speaker microphone will give a double beep once the GPS speaker
microphone has acquired a location fix. The time to acquire a fix is dependent upon various conditions such as
terrain, buildings, weather, etc. Under ideal conditions this time could be as fast as 30 seconds. A first fix
acquisition time of 2-3 minutes would not be abnormal under other conditions.
GPS Power Save Enable:
Checking this box will help extend battery life by placing the GPS receiver in a low
power or “sleep” state for 30 seconds in between position fixes. Upon waking, the GPS receiver is left on at full
power until two valid position fixes are determined and then once again is placed in sleep mode. Under good
signal conditions it takes about 20 seconds for the GPS receiver to acquire new fixes after waking. Therefore one
can expect a new fix to be determined about once per minute, though this cannot be guaranteed.
