Description
GPS is off (not enabled).
Before you can use GPS, you must accept the GPS privacy agreement and
enable GPS. (See GPS Privacy Agreement and Enabling GPS.)
GPS is on and available. (The GPS privacy agreement has been accepted,
and GPS is enabled.)
(flashing)
GPS is active (acquiring a location fix).
The text next to the icon displays the GPS status, for example, “GPS not enabled” or “GPS
searching for satellites.”
Click the icon to display the GPS Information and Settings window. The window shows the GPS
status and, if available, location information, including:
● HEPE — The Horizontal Estimated Position Error reflects accuracy (horizontal/vertical
precision).
Note: For best results, minimize the number of obstructions between your device and the GPS
satellites.
● Timestamp — This indicates the time of the last fix.
Configuring the Settings
When you’re logged in, the following settings are available.
View privacy agreement (link displayed if you haven’t yet accepted the GPS privacy
agreement). You cannot enable and use GPS until you accept this agreement. Click the link to
view and then accept the agreement.
Enable GPS — To use GPS and to configure other GPS settings, this check box must be
selected.
GPS Mode — This setting determines how often the device should obtain a fix.
● One-time — A single fix is used. Use this option if you’ll be using your device at the
same location.
● Continuous — Fixes are obtained on a regular basis; also known as auto-tracking. This
is useful for turn-by-turn (TBT) navigation applications, such as driving directions.
