4. Initiate your GPS Logger for the first GPS fix
It requires a clear sky for your GPS Logger to receive GPS signals and acquires a GPS fix. Please leave your GPS Logger on the balcony, the
top of your car, or anyplace where there is no obstruction or shading to fasten up the GPS fix acquisition for your GPS Logger.
Once the first GPS fix is successfully acquired, both the blue and red LED indicators of GPS Logger will blink simultaneously twice, indicating
that track logging has begun. GPS Logger will then start logging based on the tracking interval configured in hardware settings.
Note:
1. Find the LED indicator demos in GPS Logger LED indicators
.
2. For more detailed information on the GPS fix, correct wear and use of your GPS Logger, please refer to Essentials for Beginners
.

Essentials For Beginners
Before hitting on the road with your GPS Logger , please read the following information thoroughly to ensure the GPS Logger to work properly,
lest any incorrect operation ruin your precious travel memories.
GPS Logger wear & attachment
When taking GPS Logger from indoors to outdoors, it usually takes longer to get a GPS fix. Please place your GPS Logger face-up toward the
sky and press the button to acquire a GPS fix.
Tip: If GPS Logger functions normally and gets a GPS fix, both the red and blue LED indicators blink simultaneously twice, indicating the current GPS information is
logged successfully to the device memory.
Please always place your GPS Logger exposed to the open sky to ensure the successful GPS fix acquisition. Refer to the illustration below to
expose your GPS Logger as much as possible in the open sky to ensure stable and successful GPS fix acquisition.

GPS Logger setup
GPS Logger: GPS Logger is water-resistant, designed for a broader use. Multiple tracking modes with different data logging intervals work for
both short & long journey.
Note: C lick on the main menu bar of @trip PC to configure your GPS Logger. For detailed setup information, please refer to Hardware & Software Settings
.
Camera/ Camera phones: @trip PC automatically adds GPS information to the photos taken on your journey with fussy time mapping;
therefore, setting up a correct time for your camera/ camera phone will enhance the mapping procedure.
Note: Besides auto-mapping, you can also manually map the photos to your Trip. For more information, please refer to Compose Trip

GPS Classroom
What is GPS: Global Position System (GPS) is developed and operated by the Department of Defense (DOD) of the United States, on which the
accuracy and maintenance of this system fully depends. Any change made by the authorities might influence the accuracy and performance of
the GPS equipments.
How GPS works: GPS provides satellite signals which are specially coded for the computation in a GPS receiver to produce the position,
velocity and time. Usually it requires four GPS satellite signals to computer correctly the position in three dimensions and the offset time of the
GPS receiver’s clock.
Limitations on GPS reception: Initial or any use after a longer interval over four hours takes a few minutes for a successful location. Any
obstruction above or around the receiver, such as high buildings in the neighborhood, or bad reception location, such as in a tunnel or in the
building, will influence the time needed for a successful GPS location.
Cold Start: Cold start of the GPS device refers to the state of the tracker when time and position are known to within some limits, the almanac
known, and the ephemeris unknown.
Example: If the GPS device has been off for a few hours, and the ephemeris data is known for at least three satellites, the start up will be a warm start and fix the
positional in 10 - 20 seconds. Therefore, if ephemeris data for only 2 or less satellites is known it's a cold start and acquisition will take as much as a few minutes.
Warm Start: Warm start of the GPS device refers to the state of the device when time and position are known to within some limits, the
almanac known, and at least 3 satellite ephemeris are known from previous operation.
Example: If the GPS device has been off for only a few minutes, the ephemeris data for all the satellites will be known and therefore the GPS device will fix the
positional in a matter of seconds.
Note: The almanac data is an estimated (computed) data and can be valid for months while the ephemeris is only valid for 3 - 6 hours.
Note: Actual acquisition time depends on the terrain and satellite coverage.
