What can be done if my GPS receiver does not receive any satellite data?
Check the wiring of the TNC plug (antenna plug). Check that the feeder is not damaged. If need be, do the testing with another antenna to determine the cause of the problem (antenna or receiver). Contact your dealer if of no avail. To prevent any such dysfunction, do not modify the antenna such as shortening the cable, lengthening the cable or painting or varnishing the antenna
Why does the position data seem incoherent?
Check the board format selected in the receiver and the type of coordinates.
What is the difference between the FX 324 Map and the FX 324 Map Color?
The FX 324 Map has a monochrome screen The FX 324 Map Color has a color screen.
What is differential GPS (DGPS)?
Differential GPS allows the user to overcome the effect of SA interference, correct for other GPS errors, and increase the overall accuracy of the GPS receiver. With DGPS, one GPS receiver is placed at a known location and the position information from that receiver is used to calculate corrections in the position data transmitted by the satellites. This corrected information is then transmitted to other GPS receivers in the area. The resulting real-time accuracy is in the 10-meter range. Sub-meter accuracy can be obtained by using DGPS and post-processing calculations in static positioning. A separate DGPS receiver is required. Where can I install the external antenna if I am using a sailboat or a motorboat?
For sailboats, it is recommended that you install the antenna on the stern rail. For motorboats, it is recommended that you put the antenna on the cabin. If your boat is equipped with radar, the antenna should be placed so that it overhangs the radar. The coaxial cable should be connected using the shortest possible path to the receiver and should avoid proximity to any other electrical cables. The coaxial cable can be cut but its remaining length must be at least one meter. The datasend route software supports which units?
Magellan GPS 310, GPS 315, GPS 320, MAP 330, Meridian and SporTrak series or MLR Valsat SP, SP12X, SP24, SP24XC, SP24XC Free-Flying, FX112, FX312, FX312XC, FX312 Pro, FX312 4x4, FX412, FX412XC, andFX412 Pro series GPS receiver.
