8.5 GPS VIEWER
The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides location and time information to anyone
with a GPS receiver. Cipherlab GPS Viewer provides a straight-forward way to check if
the integrated GPS receiver is working. It tracks up to 12 satellites to compute and
update information with built-in antenna. In case you receive very poor signal in tough
circumstances, you may purchase an external MMCX antenna. Since the mobile computer
does not come with any preinstalled navigation software, you may need to purchase
third-party navigation software separately.
Go to Start | Programs | GPSViewer to open the CipherLab GPS Viewer. In order to
speed up start-up times, we suggest you to download the ephemeris information for
initial setup.
Note: Time To First Fix (TTFF) relies on environmental factors. Normally, it takes
approximately 40 seconds for the receiver to locate the first satellite. However, it
may take longer when satellite signals are blocked by tall vertical objects, such as
buildings or trees.
