7.3 Using GPS
The map sample (Figure 6) shows
the driving route (blue path) and
the iGPS receiver indicator (red
arrow). The arrowhead indicates
the direction of travel.
2 (two) steps are required to use
an iGPS receiver with Ostia
software.
1. Connect the iGPS receiver to
your Pocket PC using the
instructions in section 7.2
.
2. Enable the iGPS receiver
function. (See section 5.1.4
)
As you travel, the iGPS receiver
constantly monitors incoming
signals from the GPS satellites,
calculates your present position
and updates the GPS symbol on
your map.

iGPS-CF™ User’s Tips
1. Turn on your iGPS-CF™ in an open place.
2. Stay still for approximately one minute for your iGPS- CF™ to initially
acquire enough satellites to give you an accurate position. It may take
longer if you are moving.
3. If the satellite signals cannot be found (for instance, in an urban area), the
following steps are suggested:
a. If you are in a car, plug the external active antenna into iGPS-CF™
and place the antenna as close to the windshield as possible or on
the roof.
b. Move to an open space or point iGPS-CF™ toward an open sky
with less blockages.
4. iGPS-CF™ comes with a built-in battery for faster position acquisition.
The battery lasts about 4 days. Please recharge the battery for about 4
hours regularly.
5. Please have PDA recharged when either the COM port or iGPS-CF™ is
not recognized by the PDA due to low battery problem in PDA.
