- only for devices with GPS module-
GPS = Global Positioning System; used for position fixing.
The GPS module receives free-to-air satellite signals. Reception is
only available to a limited extent under roofing, covers, and in
enclosed rooms. The satellite signals are received by the GPS
module in order to fix the current position. Depending on the
satellite signal strength, the device may require between 30 and 120 seconds before the location
coordinates can be viewed in the display. The location coordinates are displayed in place of ‘Zorn
