Chapter 2 Using your C5m/F5m Using the GPS receiver 47

Using the GPS receiver

If you purchased your C5m/F5m with the optional Mobile broadband with GPS module or

the optional discrete GPS module, your tablet has GPS capabilities. You can use GPS with

your preferred mapping application to find your current and destination locations.

Using the discrete GPS receiver with WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS

The discrete GPS receiver uses satellites to provide the current location, altitude, heading,

and horizontal velocity of the tablet through Windows' Sensor Framework and a virtual

communications port. There is no user interface for the discrete GPS receiver. The discrete

GPS receiver is always on whenever the tablet is powered on. The virtual communications

port assigned to the discrete GPS receiver by Windows can be viewed in the Control Panel

System Device Manager.
