10.3Downloading Location Data via QuickGPS

Before using the device for GPS navigation, open QuickGPS to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and timing information). QuickGPS significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position. QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from web servers, instead of from satellites, using your device’s Internet connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or GPRS/3G.

To open QuickGPS

Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.

To download GPS data

Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.

On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the downloaded data. As time passes, the remaining days and hours of validity will be shown.

To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data when the validity of the data expires.
