Figure 6: Other GPS Options

Enable GPRS Queue: Enabling the GPRS Queue instructs the device to store its packets if GPRS is

unavailable. This is important to select if you want the device to store position packets when it is out of its

cellular coverage area. These packets will then be downloaded when the device returns to an area where it

has cellular coverage.

Include GPS Mileage: By checking this the device will send its GPS mileage value with all packets.

Reset GPS Mileage: By checking this the mileage value stored in the device will be reset to 0. It is

recommended that any new device have the mileage reset if the mileage value is to be included in the

packets.

Send last known valid position if current position is invalid: If this is checked the device will send its

last valid position if its current GPS solution is inadequate to obtain a fix. This typically will occur if the

vehicle/device is in a parking garage, for example. Checking this option should also eliminate errant

position reporting due to an inadequate GPS solution (odd position and speed values are the most

common indications of an inadequate GPS solution). Note that if checked the device will send its last

valid position including the date and time of that position.

Figure 7: Garmin FMI Options

Garmin FMI: A Garmin personal navigation device (PND) can be interfaced to the GPS-206 (contact

CES for compatible Garmin PNDs and pricing on enabling the interface). This section, only visible for

the GPS-206 when the TCP protocol is selected, is used to enable the interface in the GPS-206.

Note: this option is not compatible with the option to Send GPS to Serial Port and the

Auxiliary Expansion Cable.

Send GPS to Serial Port: This option provides the capability for the GPS-206 to send its position

information out of its serial port in addition to sending it over the air. The parameters for the serial port

interface are: 115200 baud, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

Note: this option is not compatible with the Garmin FMI option and the Auxiliary

Expansion Cable.
