Tapping on the GPS Profile Selection dropdown menu allows you to choose an appropriate
profile: Default, Automotive or Pedestrian.
•Default profile is a good general profile suitable for most uses.
•Automotive profile is designed for in-vehicle use, providing quick location updates as
the vehicle moves. When the GPS module is set to this profile and the vehicle enters an
area such as a tunnel where satellite coverage is interrupted, it will attempt to predict the
vehicle position.
•Pedestrian profile is designed for those using the GPS module while walking. It takes
into account the slower pace of the pedestrian when mapping the location of the user.
When the GPS module is set to this profile and the operator moves into an area where
satellite coverage is interrupted, the GPS module will not attempt to predict the opera-
tor’s movement.
