Setting up GPS on the NAUTIZ X3
The basic features of the NAUTIZ X3 are as follows:
1. Choose Start > Settings > System > External GPS.
2. Set the GPS program port to COM4 via the program tab.
3. Set the GPS program port to COM9 via the program tab.
4. Set the baud rate to 115 200 via the Hardware tab.
Several programs can access GPS data simultaneously. Each program must access GPS
data using Microsoft GPS API or COM4.
Operation
The default setting is subject to change.
It may take from a few seconds up to several minutes for satellite signals to be
received. Ideal conditions are outdoors with no obstacles blocking the skyline. It may
take longer to calculate the initial position and receive signals under other conditions.
When using the device indoors, access to GPS signals may be restricted or
unobtainable.
When using a GPS navigation program, make sure that the NAUTIZ X3 is not in
temporary pause mode. If the NAUTIZ X3 is in temporary pause mode, the GPS
module will not receive any power. To continue using the GPS, the GPS receiver has to
search for effective GPS signals again. This could delay the retrieval of location
information.
GPS maps on a MicroSD card
Some software vendors provide GPS map data on MicroSD cards. If using MicroSD
for navigation software:
1. Remove the battery from the NAUTIZ X3.
2. Open the SD Card slot, located at the right hand side inside the battery compartment.
3. Insert the SD card into the slot.
4. Close the SD slot by pushing it down.
Answer calls while using GPS
If you are receiving a call while using GPS navigation software
1. Tap the Answer button to receive the call.
2. Tap the End call button to resume GPS audio when finishing the call.
When receiving incoming calls whilst using the GPS, the GPS audio will be muted
until the call has ended.
Losing GPS signals while driving a vehicle
If the vehicle's window contains heating threads, this could affect the GPS performance
of the device. To improve GPS signals, mount the NAUTIZ X3 in a clear line to the
sky, without any obstacles. To access satellite information, the NAUTIZ X3 and GPS
satellites should be in a clear line with the sky.
