CHAPTER 8 USING GPS NAVIGATION
Introduction
The MC67 includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS technology is based on a worldwide
system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals. These radio signals
contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used to determine the user location
on the earth.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing,
downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC67. Refer to
the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
MC67 GPS Setup
The GPS-enabled MC67 automatically manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to
simultaneously access GPS data.
By default, the MC67 has the following settings:
1. Tap > Settings > System > External GPS.
2. In the Programs tab, the GPS program port is set to COM8.
WARNING! When using the MC67 in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a
manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their
view. It is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain
observation of all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to
the exclusion of safe driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while
