Setting the GPS Mode

eriodically (“continuous”) — used, for example, for turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation applications.
To set the GPS mode:
1. Make sure you’re logged in to the home page.
2. Click Advanced settings > WAN > GPS.
3. Select the Enable GPS check box if it is not selected.
4. Select one of the following:
䡲
One-time — A single fix is used. Use this option if you’ll be using your device at the same
location.
Tip: If you want to get a fix immediately, click Get fix now.
䡲 Continuous — Fixes are obtained on a regular basis; also known as auto-tracking. Useful
for turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation applications, such as driving directions.
