Getting started

5. GPS Setup

The Global Positioning System (GPS) comprises a collection of satellites orbiting Earth that transmit

signals to a GPS receiver (antenna) connected to your Pocket PC.

Before your GPS receiver (antenna) can attempt to obtain a GPS ﬁx, your Pocket PC must be ﬁrst be

setup to connect (‘pair’) with the GPS receiver

GPS receiver setup

GPS receivers can connect to a Pocket PC via two mediums: wireless Bluetooth or a serial cable.

In either case, once the Pocket PC has successfully paired the pairing information is remembered

by the software and the following steps are bypassed.

Automatic Bluetooth pairing

The ﬁrst time it is used, SPiN 100 assumes you are using a Navman Bluetooth GPS

receiver and displays a dialog box asking if you want to connect to it. If you have a Navman

Bluetooth GPS receiver tap Yes to automatically pair the Pocket PC with the receiver and

attempt to obtain a GPS ﬁx. If you do not have a Navman Bluetooth GPS receiver tap No.

Manual setup

Whether you have a third-party Bluetooth GPS receiver or a GPS receiver connected via a

serial cable, you need to manually pair the receiver with the Pocket PC.

1. Either tap the GPS status message at the bottom of the 2D Map or 3D Map screens or,

from the Main Menu, tap , then GPS Status.

The GPS Status screen will open

2. Tap the ﬁrst drop-down box and select the COM port for your GPS receiver from the list

that appears. See your Pocket PC manual for the correct COM port.

3. Tap the second drop-down box and select the baud rate (speed) for your GPS receiver

from the list that appears. See your GPS receiver manual for the correct baud rate

Tap the GPS checkbox to open the COM port. Your Pocket PC will now attempt to obtain

a GPS ﬁx.
