2.1 Operating System Requirement
Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows CE,
Macintosh or an y other OS that is compatible with GPS NMEA
Sentence format and the eMap (Electrical street map) which can
support in hardware device.
Any Bluetooth-enabled device, such as your Desktop/laptop PC,
Palm, Pocket PC.

2.2 GPS Signal Reception
The BT GPS receiver offers a highly accurate positioning accuracy of
5m and a 50sec TTFF for initial position fixes under cold start
conditions. However, those performances depend on the location and
the initial state of the receiver. Your GPS TTFF and positioning
accuracy can be affected by the following factors:
Tall buildings and constructions
Narrow streets
Heat rejection film on glass or on windshield
Under trees of heavy leafage
Beside large and tall cliffs
Any object that obstructs a clear view of the sky
Poor satellites geometry conditions.
