5.21 External GPS (Global Positioning System)
With a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, you can locate your exact position on a
map. However, even without a GPS receiver, several different mapping programs can run on
your PDA.
• Tap on Start>Settings>System tab>External GPS icon.
• Tap on the GPS program port dropdown menu and choose the communication (COM)
port that the GPS software will use to communicate with the GPS receiver.
Note: Your iKôn PDA may automatically detect the GPS receiver that you are using and
enter the settings in the Hardware tab. If not, you’ll need to enter this information
yourself. You can find this information in the user manual of the GPS receiver.
