Destinator uses the GPS receiver to pinpoint your location. GPS signals are
automatically acquired and your vehicle's location and position are constantly
updated unless you are working in the Free Browse Map mode or you tap the
GPS Off button. The GPS receiver may take a few minutes to find its initial
location. For best results, ensure that the GPS receiver has a clear view of
the sky.
The following GPS information is displayed:
ƒ Longitude - The angular distance east or west on the earth's surface.
ƒ Latitude - The location of a place north or south of the earth's surface.

receiver. If you are working in Free Browse Map mode, Destinator automatically disconnects from the GPS
receiver.
