GNSS System Compatibility Mode. To allow you to use

software developed for interfacing GPS-only receivers a

Compatibility mode is included in the communication

protocol. In this mode the Talker ID of GGA, RMC, DTM,

GLL, VTG and ZDA messages is set to “GP” regardless of

which system satellites are used for the reported position.

JSNav Application

JSNav is a GPS/GNSS application that lets you easily collect

waypoint or track data.
Note: Calibrate the compass and accelerometer before

you use JSNav. Refer to Chapter 3, Programs and Settings,

Compass and Accelerometer Calibration.
From the Home screen select the JSNav gadget . A splash

screen appears while the application opens, and then the

main JSNav screen appears. Select the satellite icon in

the upper right corner to turn GPS on or off. (A gray icon

means GPS is not connected, red means there is no fix,

yellow means a 2D fix, and green means a 3D fix.)

Once there is a fix (this may take a few minutes) the left

portion of the screen shows you information about the

current position as well as PDOP (position dilution of

precision), EHE (estimated horizontal error), and the number

of satellites used for a fix. To view signal strength and NMEA

strings, swipe this area to the right or left.
The right portion of the screen is used to collect and view

waypoint or track data. Select the waypoint or track

icon or swipe this portion of the screen to the right or left.
