Introduction

You can use the internal GPS receiver of the PF3000 to collect field position
information for making a map. The GPS receiver sends the exact
coordinates in degrees latitude and degrees longitude to the monitor every
second. You must use a memory card with the monitor to record GPS
position information.

GPS Status
Indicator

The PF3000 will display a “D” and “G” on the top right corner of the
display to indicate you have a GPS signal. If you do not have a GPS signal
you will see two dashes “- -“.

NOTE:

A “D” indicates that you have a differential signal.

A large “G” indicates that you have a GPS signal and your GPS
receiver is tracking four or more satellites.

A small “g” indicates that you have a GPS signal but your GPS receiver
is tracking only three satellites.


The GPS receiver must track four or more satellites (large “G”) to get an
elevation reading.
