Using GNSS Loader
This application is required whenever you need to update the
SP20’s GNSS firmware and/or if you have purchased the
SP20 with better than one meter position accuracy.
GNSSLoader will be used in the latter case to install the
corresponding firmware option.
GNSSLoader can be downloaded for free from the spectra
Precision website or from Google Play at:
https://play.google.com/store
Follow the instructions to install GNSSLoader on your SP20.
Then run GNSSLoader by touching this icon in the Android
applications menu:
The GNSSLoader menu includes the following functions:
• Reset GNSS: Touch this option to reset the SP20’s built-in,
high-accuracy GNSS receiver. When the sequence is
complete, this message is displayed:
Complete
GNSS has been reset to the default settings
Touch OK to close the message dialog box and return to
the main menu.
• Upgrade firmware: Opens a window listing the possible
GNSS firmware upgrades currently stored in the Download
folder. These files use the following naming convention:
SP20_upgrade_vx.xx.x.tar
Where vx.xx.x is the firmware version contained in the upgrade file.
(So you should have downloaded your GNSS firmware
upgrade from the Spectra Precision website to the
Download folder before using the Upgrade firmware
function.)
To install an upgrade select the file and then touch .
• Install accuracy option: Opens a window listing the currently
installed accuracy options.
