CD-ROM for data downloading. Further management and analysis of the data can be done via
application specific application program. GPS G-Log 760 outputs in popular “.csv” or “.bin” or
".nmea" or ".gpx" or ".kml" format for easy interface to application program.
2-9. Helpful Tips
Some vehicles using heavy metallic sun protecting coating on windshields may affect GPS
signal reception.
Streets with high rising buildings may affect GPS signal reception.
Tunnel and indoor parking garage may affect signal reception.
In general, GPS signal reception best in open space where it can see clear sky. Weather
condition will also affect GPS reception – rain & snow contribute to worse sensitivity.
Low battery status may affect signal reception.
This device outputs coordinates data every second, therefore the actual position and the
position shown on your map may have slight time delay. This may happen when you drive
at higher speed or make a turn around a corner.
For the device not in use over several days, allow it 1~3 minutes to obtain satellite
constellation information and fix your position, this is called “Cold Start”. Upon battery
replacement, GPS device will do Cold Start again.
If your device can not fix position for more than 20 minutes, please change to another
location with open space and then try again.
When using AGPS function, it is recommend to use GPSView application program to
download the AGPS data to your device via USB port. Internet access is required for
downloading AGPS data. AGPS data is valid for 6 days for each download.
