Using SatViewer
Your Nomad may have SatViewer™ installed that is ONLY for use
with units with built-in GPS. External GPS receivers, Bluetooth
GPS receivers, GPS CF cards or other external GPS devices
(including other SiRF II or SiRF III GPS receivers) are not
supported and may not work correctly with SatViewer.
On your Nomad, tap
Start / Settings / System / System
Information / Wireless
to see if it has built-in GPS. If it does,
COM2 is the dedicated hardware port for the built-in GPS (COM1
is dedicated to the external 9-pin). Your Nomad GPS receiver is
compatible with applications that accept the NMEA position
information using a default setting of 9600 bps.
Quick Start:
The following steps will allow you to quickly connect
to the GPS with default settings:
1. Start SatViewer by tapping Start / Programs / SatViewer.
2. Tap on the GPS tab.
3. Make sure the COM setting is set to COM2.
4. Tap Connect to GPS. The fields Lat, Lon, Spd, Az and Ht will
all read ? until SatViewer connects to the GPS and obtains a
satellite fix. If you are attempting to get a satellite fix for the
first time, it may take several minutes and it is recommended to
position your Nomad unit outside with no overhead
obstructions.
5. Tap Sky. Lat and Lon will change to current latitude and
longitude when a satellite fix has been completed.
Welcome to SatViewer
. Your on-board GPS receiver features a
20-channel SiRF III GPS receiver. The typical expected accuracy
for this GPS receiver is about five to fifteen meters. It has the
capability of receiving correction signals (Satellite-Based
Augmentation System, SBAS) which may improve the accuracy of
the GPS. However, these correction signals are not consistently
available in all locations. The typical expected accuracy of the GPS
receiver with the correction signals is about three to five meters in
an open sky.
