can be attained when

positioning the antenna

horizontally (parallel with

the horizon).

Initializing the Receiver

The GPS Receiver must be initialized (given an opportunity to deter­mine its location) before you can begin using it for navigation. Before it can
receive signals from GPS satellites overhead, you must turn the receiver
on. This can be accomplished by deploying the antenna on the back of the
iQue handheld by rotating it up to a horizontal position (parallel with the
horizon). In order to receive satellite signals, you must have a clear view of
the sky. Satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass)
or dense overhead tree cover. When the unit initializes for the first time it
may take as long as 15 minutes. This time can be shortened by using the
map to point to the general area in which you are currently located (see
page 6). Anytime you have traveled more than 600 miles with the GPS
receiver turned off, the iQue handheld must again find its location by re­initializing.

Using QueGPS

QueGPS is an information type application that displays the cur-

rent status of satellite reception by showing the location and num­bers of the satellites in the sky overhead. A signal strength bar at the bottom
of the page shows the signal strength of each satellite being received. Use
QueGPS to:

• Observe the status of GPS satellite signal reception.

• View the current date and time.

• Determine your current location coordinates and their accuracy.

• Determine your current speed.

•

Determine your approximate elevation (altitude above mean sea level).

To view the QueGPS Satellite Status Page:

1. Tap the HOME icon to display the applications launcher, then tap
the QueGPS icon.

2. Or, simply tap the GPS Status Area in the center of the Applica­tions Status Bar.

At the top of the Satellite Status Page is a message containing the
status of the GPS receiver and a sky view array on the left side represent­ing the position of satellites in the sky overhead with your position in
the center of the two circles. The outer circle indicates the horizon while
the inner circle a position 45o from the horizon. The numbers displayed
indicate the number assigned to those satellites.

A bar graph at the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals
being received from each satellite. An “Acquiring Satellites” message is
displayed until at least three satellites with sufficient signal strength have
been received. When the GPS receiver has determined its location, a
“2D” message appears and your location coordinates display at the top

GPS Receiver Status: On, Off or Acquiring Satellites

The GPS Receiver can be in three states, On, Off, or Acquiring

(searching for enough satellite signals to determine its location).

To determine the GPS status at a glance:

1. Observe the small color window at the center of your handheld
status bar.

2. When GPS is On and searching for satellite signals, the window will
appear as shown in the top left illustration.

3. When enough satellite signals are being received to establish a
location fi x, the window will appear as shown in the middle left
illustration.

4. When the Antenna is closed and the GPS is Off, the window will
display a sky with no satellites.

It is IMPORTANT to remember that whenever the antenna is not in

the fully closed position, that the GPS receiver is operating.

The GPS receiver can, from time to time, lose satellite signals due
to interference from tree cover, buildings, etc., so monitoring the GPS
Status Window from time to time is recommended. If you don’t want
the GPS Receiver On, and particularly when indoors, keep the antenna
closed!

You can tap the Satellite Status window at any time to display the
QueGPS application and view satellite status in detail.

To use QueGPS options:

1. Tap the QueGPS application tab or the Menu icon to display the
Options Menu.

2. Observe the list of options:

• Tap Preferences to display the GPS preference options.

• When in 2D mode, tap New Elevation to reset the elevation.

• Tap New Location when initializing the GPS Receiver if you

have moved over 600 miles from your last use location or if you
have not powered up the unit in over thirty days.

To use QueGPS preferences:

1. Tap the Preferences option to display the GPS Preferences Menu.

2. Observe the list of options with check boxes:

• Tap WAAS Enabled to enable the Wide Area Augmentation
System operating mode. (See Additional Information about
WAAS on page 57.)

• Tap Battery Saver to change the rate at which the GPS receive
updates your position data to conserve battery power. The GPS
receiver slows the frequency at which it calculates your location
and therefore requires less battery power with the result being a
slight loss in position accuracy. The GPS is turned completely Off
when the antenna is fully closed.

You cannot operate in the WAAS and Battery Saver modes at the
same time. If you attempt to check both boxes, a message will display
and the last option checked will remain on after you tap the OK button.

map data CD’s using the MapInstall feature as explained on page 51 of this
guide.

There are two options: North Up and Track Up. North Up orients the
map like a paper map, while Track Up orients the map in the direction of
travel. As you travel to the edge of the display, the map moves (redraws) to
constantly show your current location. When using “Track Up”, the North
arrow indicates the map orientation.

When the “Pan Map with Stylus” mode is selected, dragging the
stylus across the screen causes the map to pan with the movement of the
stylus.

scale of 30 miles. Use the Map Scale Selector, the Pan Map or View
Area tool to adjust the map to include the map points you want to
measure.

2. To measure the distance from your current location to a map point,
tap the point with the stylus to mark the point. Read the distance
in the fi eld below the map. If you want to create a route to the
map point, tap the QueRoutes icon on the tool bar and follow
instructions on page 33. Note that the route distance may be
somewhat greater because the distance was measured in a direct
line and routes typically follow roads.

3. To measure the distance between two points on the map, fi rst, tap
the desired point on the map, then tap the Map Pin icon on
the tool bar to move the Map Pin to that point. Next, tap the map
point you want to measure to and observe the measurement in the
fi eld below the map. Tapping the QueRoutes icon will not create a
route between the two points.

4. When fi nished measuring distance, tap the Done button to close.
