Fig. 34: “G&C (GPS and Compass) Configuration

1 – GPS Status Configuration

N Use Coordinates from GPS Antenna

O Override GPS and use the coordinates entered (2) and (3). Enables the GPS coordinates

to be manually overridden. This should only be enabled in the event that the GPS Antenna

is malfunctioning and the user has a reliable, alternate source for coordinates.

Note: If you have overridden the GPS coordinates, they will have to be updated if the

Mobile Platform has moved to a new location since the overridden values will no longer be

accurate.

2 – GPS Latitude Coordinate

3 – GPS Longitude Coordinate

4 – Compass Status Configuration

N Use Coordinates attained from the Compass to determine heading for acquisition

O Override Compass - Enables the Compass to be manually overridden. Ensure that you

are using a reliable alternate source. After enabling Override, you may enter the vehicle’s

direction as indicated on your alternate compass. Keep in mind that the base of the

iNetVu™ Mobile Platform is oriented to the rear of your vehicle. When taking the direction

on the alternate compass, take the direction of your reading while facing the front of the

vehicle, and use this orientation with reference to true north when entering the heading.

F Performs a full 360º Azimuth search for the desired Satellite. This process may take

longer to find satellite considering the search method is not limited to the calculated

search window.

5 – Compass Heading

The number of degrees the front of the Mobile Platform is rotated in reference to True North.
