Using the GPS Receiver
The Gobi module includes a GPS receiver. The GPS receiver provides the current location,
altitude, heading, and horizontal velocity of the tablet through the Connection Manager
user interface and through a virtual communications port.
You can use the Connection Manager to start, stop, and manage the GPS receiver. See
“Using the Connection Manager” on page 42.
Note: To use the GPS receiver, you do not need a network connection or an account with a
Mobile Broadband network carrier.
Using the Connection Manager
The Connection Manager lets you configure the Gobi module with network profiles that
enable the Gobi module to function on various mobile broadband carrier networks. A
network profile includes a mobile broadband network name and the information required
to connect to the network.
The Connection Manager also lets you start, stop, and manage the GPS receiver that comes
with the Gobi module.
