UltiMate GPS App for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad SOFTWARE USER GUIDE
UltiMate GPS App Overview Emprum’s UltiMate GPS App (available on the App Store) is a software application which you can interact with your UltiMate GPS accessory. The application may be used to view your GPS coordinates and GPS satellite information, and is also used for hardware monitoring and management of your UltiMate GPS accessory.
UltiMate GPS App Getting started • Install Emprum’s UltiMate GPS App available on the App Store on your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad (further referred to as iPod). • Have your UltiMate GPS hardware accessory ready to go.
UltiMate GPS App Hardware requirements The UltiMate GPS App requires an UltiMate GPS accessory to be plugged into your iPod. If no accessory is plugged in, the application will show a warning message that the accessory could not be found as shown in the figure to the right. Press “OK” to clear the message.
UltiMate GPS App Connecting your UltiMate GPS After the UltiMate GPS accessory is plugged into the iPod, the application will recognize its presence and display a message as shown in the left figure. The orange LED power icon on your UltiMate GPS will be on after the accessory is recognized by the iPod, and the blue LED satellite icon will be on when a location-based application is running on the iPod (refer to the UltiMate GPS user guide for more details on the LED icon display).
UltiMate GPS App Application features The GPS tab displays a compass bearing, latitude and longitude information, speed and altitude. The screen also provides display of the LED indicator status on your UltiMate GPS accessory (refer to the UltiMate GPS accessory user guide for more details).
UltiMate GPS App Additional information about the GPS position and lock may be obtained by tapping the icon in the top right corner of the GPS tab. The GPS Data information screen that subsequently opens, shows the GPS time and date, latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and bearing, fix mode and dilution of precision of the satellite lock. If you wish to return to the compass on the GPS tab, press the “Back” button in the top left corner of the screen.
UltiMate GPS App The Satellites tab shows satellites acquired and their positions in the sky as shown in the adjacent figure. The concentric circles in the view signify the elevation angle of each satellite. A list of all satellites in view can be pulled up from the bottom of the screen. The “Signal-to-Noise Ratio” (SNR) and “Satellite Number” tabs show graphical displays of the SNR (vert. axis) for each satellite (horiz. axis), ranked from left to right, by SNR and satellite number respectively.
UltiMate GPS App The GPS tab and Satellites tab allow you to customize the LED indicators on your UltiMate GPS accessory, e.g. for night viewing or lower power consumption. By tapping an LED indicator button on the iPod screen (blue, red, orange or green), you can turn its respective LED indicator on your UltiMate GPS accessory on or off. Please take note of the following: • The red LED indicator will always flash when the accessory is searching for a satellite lock.
UltiMate GPS App The Hardware tab allows you to monitor and interact with your UltiMate GPS accessory. You can issue a hot, warm or a cold start to re-start the GPS engine. You can also reset your UltiMate GPS accessory to factory conditions, or upgrade its firmware.
UltiMate GPS App The Hardware tab also allows you to upgrade the firmware of your UltiMate GPS accessory. When a firmware update becomes available, e.g. for feature enhancements or bug fixes, the application will show a message similar to the message in the figure to the left. Press “OK” to start the firmware update. Do not quit the application, unplug the accessory, or turn off the iPod while the firmware update is in progress. A firmware update will take 2-3 minutes.
