11.1.15. GPS Location
This will display a new window with the currently saved information. The GPS (Global Positioning
System) coordinates, often referred to as waypoints, can be updated by connecting a compatible
GPS device to the Micromate and downloading the information or by manually entering the new
waypoints into the Micromate. A GPS device can be used to locate your exact latitude and
longitude position based on orbiting satellites. Once the waypoints have been entered into the
Micromate, the distance between these two points will be calculated.
GPS Summary Screen
When the GPS device is connected to the USB port of the Micromate, the Micromate will
automatically recognize the device and the GPS icon will now appear at the top of the display.
