GPS Module
If you have included an Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver module in your purchase option, you will
need to obtain map software suitable for your global location. Map software programs are both commercially
available and downloadable directly from the internet.
A Global Positioning System satellite continually transmits high-frequency radio signals containing the time and
location of the satellite in relation to the earth. Your computer’s GPS receiver obtains information from satellites
and calculates your current position on the planet (to an accuracy of between 3 and 15 meters). Toggle power to
the GPS module using the On-Screen Menu button
.
For the best quality signal use the optional antenna and screw the antenna into the GPS Active Aerial Socket at
the rear of the computer (see
“System Map: Rear View” on page 1 - 21 ).
