Getting Started with Navigation
WayPoint
tm
navigation requires a combination of resources which consists of the mapping
application, a set of maps, and a GPS receiver. The first step is to set up the GPS receiver
correctly.
WayPoint 100 users should plug in the CF GPS receiver. The lamp on the receiver will light,
indicating that the unit is on, when the GPS is selected in the WayPoint software. The CF GPS
receiver is on Com 3. The baud rate must be set to 4800. The lamp will blink when a GPS fix has
been obtained. If the GPS is shut off via the WayPoint software or another GPS program the
lamp will turn off.
WayPoint 200 users should find a place for the Bluetooth GPS within approximately 10 to 15
feet or so (no more than 30) of the PDA and with a clear view of the sky through the car
windows. The following conditions will be noted:
• Turn the GPS unit on with the power switch and let it acquire a GPS signal.
• The blue light should flash indicating a Bluetooth network can be established between
the unit and the PDA. The blue light flashes quicker after a link is established. A
connection to the GPS can be established from the Bluetooth start menu. See
“Bluetooth Operation” on page 91 for more information on setting up the Bluetooth
network.
• The center lamp shows the GPS status. It will light when powered on and will flash
when a GPS fix has been achieved.
• The third light shows the power status. It will flash when a battery recharge is needed. It
will light steady when external power is applied and the unit is charging.
If you are hiking with this unit, the GPS should be placed as high on your body as possible, or
hold the unit away from your body. The water in the human body effectively blocks the satellite
signals in the direction of your body. If you place it in your pocket the GPS antenna must be
facing out.
