GPS-ECompass
GPS-ECompass can:
 Function as a compass.
 Receive GPS satellite signals to calculate the location of your device.
 Record GPS logs.
When opening the application, you will be asked to turn on GPS if it is off.
The icon in the status bar indicates GPS service is in use.
The application has three pages as described later. Touch one of the three
buttons (Satellite Position, Electronic Compass, and Location Information) at
the left side of the screen to see the page.
Satellite Position
The Satellite Position page shows the positions of the overhead satellites
and their signal strength. It also indicates the on/off status of the SBAS and
logging functions.
SBAS (satellite-based augmentation system) provides additional accuracy and
reliability for the GPS devices. Ground stations are necessary to achieve the
purpose. The SBAS feature works where such stations exist. You can enable
the SBAS feature. (See “Getac Settings” in Chapter 7.)
