Chapter 5 — Use GPS
76 CN51 Mobile Computer User Manual
Qualcomm’s gpsOneXTRA Assistance technology provides enhanced
operation for Standalone GPS. This option enables the UMTS-enabled
computer to automatically download a small assistance data file from
the XTRA servers through a brief internet access session. To use this
option, you must have a valid and activated WAN data connection.
Another option you can configure with iGPS is the fix interval. The fix
interval defines how often the GPS provides new information. Larger
intervals use less power, but many applications require small intervals
to work correctly. The default for fix interval, in seconds, is 4. The
Flexible Network Radio has a maximum interval of 4.
Improve GPS Performance on the Computer

your computer. Any time you change the GPS settings, the phone
automatically resets.
1 Go to Start > Settings > System > iGPS.
2 In the Fix Interval tab, enter a value for the fix interval. The default
setting is 4 and should be optimized for most applications.

(1), MS assisted (2), or Enable gpsOneXTRA (check box).
4 Tap OK.
