Using Assisted GPS (A-GPS)
To enable and disable A-GPS, tap / Settings / System / GPS
and tap the arrow over the A-GPS tab. If the GPS has been used in
the prior 72 hours, A-GPS will retain a memory of the satellite
paths. The A-GPS satellite data is stored in memory for the
satellites visible in your current position. Therefore the unit can
lock on the satellites quickly, in less than 20 seconds in an open
sky. The expiration of the A-GPS data is also shown in this menu
and on the Home screen. Using A-GPS may reduce accuracy in
some situations.
If you are unable to connect to the GPS using the default GPS
settings, you can restore it to factory default settings by performing
a shutdown, and leaving it shut down for approximately 5 minutes.
See Power key features on page 13.
SatViewer
(Optional on certain device offerings; may not be installed.)
If your unit has the built-in GPS, it may have SatViewer™
installed. External GPS receivers, Bluetooth GPS receivers or other
external GPS devices (including other SiRF II or SiRF III GPS
receivers) are not supported and may not work correctly with
SatViewer. See Appendix A for more instructions on using
SatViewer.
Exiting GPS applications
Any time you exit a GPS application (such as SatViewer) it is
advisable to close the port gracefully, e.g. tap Disconnect from
GPS and exit the application. Failure to do so may leave the port
open and hinder the next GPS operation
