While the GPS radio on your device is able to connect to the GPS satellites without enabling the HP iPAQ GPS QK Position utility, it may take a few minutes longer and even up to five minutes to locate the satellites without using HP iPAQ GPS QK Position.

To access the utility:

1.Tap Start > Programs > HP iPAQ GPS QK Position.

2.If your HP iPAQ shows that the file has expired, verify the date and time on the HP iPAQ is correct, and then tap Download Now.

After the HP iPAQ GPS QK Position data file has been downloaded, you might see improvements in the GPS performance as the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) reduces.

Verify Compatibility With Your HP iPAQ

If you are interested in purchasing additional GPS navigation software to use on your HP iPAQ, check with the GPS software supplier before you purchase, download, or install any GPS navigation software to determine that the software is compatible with your specific HP iPAQ model.

Once you have verified compatibility, purchase and install a map onto the HP iPAQ or memory card to be able to start using the GPS navigation technology.
