Update the AGPS data from internet assistance server to boost warm

A-GPS is a system where outside sources, such as an assistance
server and reference network, help a GPS receiver boosts
performance beyond that of the same receiver in a stand-alone
mode by downloading the almanac data from an assistance server.
Note1: A-GPS can boost GPS warm start speed to always lower than
15sec fix after the first fix. The A-GPS efficiency will decrease
when time goes by. If it expires, you would have to download
almanac data again because the acceleration efficiency of fix
will become totally ineffective.
Note2: Please don’t update the almanac data via Bluetooth
interface.

can use a travel charger which support DC output
range from 4.5~5.5V. You can also use a common
mini USB cable to charge your unit via the laptop.

model is BL-5C.
Yes, Q1000eX is able to transmit log data through
Bluetooth.
We active more options previously to provide
detailed GPS information for user’s reference and
download. So it would use more memory. If you
reduce the options (under Log Format) for your
log, it would save the memory and increase more
waypoints.
environment. GPS would need more power
consumption when keep trying a position fix,
seeking Bluetooth connection, or under an
unstable environment (bad weather, forest,
buildings). Those would take GPS more
calculation and power consumption. So it would
spend more power consumption. After the red
LED light is blanking, it still can be used for your
navigation without any problem.
