FSC GPSLocator
FSC GPSLocator is demonstration software which illustrates how the GPS receiver of your Pocket LOOX device works.
When you start the FSC GPSLocator the GPS receiver is also activated. Exiting the programme deactivates the GPS receiver.
The GPS module is calibrated the first time you start it. This can take several minutes. When you subsequently start the device your GPS receiver will be ready for use in just a few seconds.
Inside a building you will not normally be able to receive a GPS signal. It is therefore best to calibrate the GPS receiver out in the open.
