Chapter 8 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The VC6000 Series includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRF III chipset. GPS
technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital
radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used
to determine your location on the earth.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing,
downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the VC6000 Series.
Refer to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
VC6000 Series GPS Setup
The GPS-enabled VC6000 Series uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, so the operating system automatically
manages access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.
Ensure that the following settings are set on the VC6000 Series:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
2. In the Programs tab, select None from the GPS program port drop-down list.
3. In the Hardware tab, select COM8 in the GPS hardware port drop-down list.
