Setting the GPS Fix Rate
The GPS fix rate determines how often GPS fixes are obtained. This option is available only if
the fix mode (GPS Mode) is set to Continuous.
1. Log in to the home page.
2. Click Advanced settings > WAN > GPS.
3. Make sure GPS Mode is set to Continuous.
4. In the Fix Rate field, enter a number of seconds between 1 and 999. (The smaller the
number, the more up-to-date the location tracking will be, at the cost of shorter battery
life of the device.)
Using Metric Units
You can use metric units in the display of location information (for example, speed and altitude).
1. Make sure you’re logged in to the home page.
2. Click the GPS icon on the left side of the home page.
3. In the GPS Information and Settings window, select the Metric units check box.
Changing Your Mapping Service
You can change the mapping service (for example, Google Maps or MapQuest) that displays
the GPS results (in a separate browser window).
