Helpful Hints Installation to calculate distances, and the exact location of the sensor is figured by combining the data received from four satellites. Using the data from these four satellites, GPS is able to give you the latitude, longitude and elevation of your present location, and also your road speed and direction of travel on a route. Given the right conditions, a GPS sensor can identify your geographic position anywhere in the world within a matter of a few meters.
Trouble-shooting Using Help Files Why can't I get a satellite reading the first time I use Pocket CoPilot? CoPilot Live provides extensive Help Files, available on your desktop/laptop and your Pocket PC, to guide you through the program as you use it. The first time the GPS receiver is used it may take approximately 5 minutes to acquire a signal (but may take as long as 15 minutes).
