If you are using FliteDeck with a GPS , you must set up your GPS unit to work with
your computer and with FliteDeck (see
). The GPS Status Indicator tells you
whether FliteDeck is receiving a valid data stream from your GPS. The indicator is
located in the upper right corner of the screen in the Jeppesen EFB-style
configuration and on the status bar at the bottom of the screen in other
configurations. Here are its possible indications:
• NO GPS DATA — FliteDeck is receiving data from the GPS, but there is no
satellite data associated with it. The following is a list of possible causes of
this GPS status:
• Broken wire on cable or a loose connection.
• Wrong baud rate.
• GPS driver is out of date. Contact the manufacturer for an updated
driver.
Check your connection and repeat the procedure for setting up your GPS.
• GPS: NO POS — This indication, with a yellow background, means your GPS
is properly hooked up to your computer and is communicating with FliteDeck,
but the GPS is not sending valid position information to FliteDeck. Make sure
your antenna is connected and positioned properly, or give the GPS receiver
more time to acquire a signal.
• GPS: INVALID — This status is due to a Receiver Autonomous Integrity
Monitor (RAIM) error. FliteDeck is receiving a signal from the GPS, but the
GPS's internal computation of your location is invalid.
• GPS: SIM — This indication, with a yellow background, means FliteDeck is
simulating its GPS position and cannot be used for real-time position
information.
• GPS: 3D or GPS: 2D — When the status bar is green, FliteDeck is receiving
valid position information. The GPS: 3D indication means it is also receiving
altitude information.
NOTE
The Aircraft Symbol and Range Ring turn red if FliteDeck is not receiving
any GPS position information.
NOTE
You must have a green GPS status indication in order to use FliteDeck for
real-time position information.
