Motorola APX 4000 - Using GPS

USING GPS:
4-WAY NAVIGATION BUTTON
Info
Some APX 4000/6000 radios have a GPS feature built into
the radio. It communicates with the GPS system using the
radio’s antenna. To access your latitude and longitude
from the radio, use the
4
-
way navigation button
to scroll
over until “
Loc
” appears on the menu. Press the
appropriate
menu select button
to access the location
feature of the radio.
Once in the scan screen you can see three options on the
bottom of the display: “
Optn”
is option, “
Rfsh
” is refresh,
and “
Exit
” leaves the GPS menu.
The option selection enables you to set waypoints using the
GPS feature of the portable radio.
Refresh causes the radio to update its current location
using data received from the Global Position System
satellites in orbit around Earth.
Choosing exit simply enables you to go back to the main
display.
If the GPS feature of your radio is enabled, you will see a
small satellite icon on the main display of your radio
(
shown
at left).
If the radio has a steady fix using the GPS system,
the satellite icon will be solid. If the satellite icon is
blinking, it means the radio has lost touch with the GPS
system. This would be a common occurrence inside of
buildings. You
may see a small “IP” icon on the display, as
well. This indicates data packets may be exchanged with a
computer, most likely a CAD or mapping program at a
dispatch center that is capable of using the GPS feature of
your radio.
