Installing off-the-shelf Windows CE software: Please refer to the software documentation for more information and detailed instructions. English MM CE GS Guide.book Page 9 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM MM CE GS Guide.book Page 10 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM English Initializing GPS GPS satellites are 12,000 miles overhead. The first time a new GPS receiver is turned on, it might have difficulty calculating its position. To help the receiver calculate its first position, you should “initialize” it. You have to do this when: - The receiver is brand new - You have moved more than 500 miles from the last place you were using it - GPS receiver has been reset - Or the receiver has not been used for more than a few months. Take the MobileMapper CE to a location where there is a clear view of the sky, then: - Select the tab, then Programs>GPS Utilities>GPS Initializa- tion - Scroll down the list of continents and double-tap the continent where you are located. Similarly double-tap the country where you are located (see figure below, left.) Finally indicate the current time and date (see figure below, right.) 10 Setting Up GPS The GPS Settings tool is used to control the desired level of precision in the computation of GPS positions. To check the current GPS settings, or to configure the integrated GPS receiver, select GPS Settings from the GPS Utilities folder. The following parameters are displayed: • DOP type: Choose the DOP type on which to set an upper limit (see next field). The position of GPS satellites in orbit determine the DOP values for a given site. The higher the DOP value, the less accurate the position solution. PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) is the DOP value for the three dimensional position solution. HDOP (Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is the DOP value for the two dimensional horizontal position. • Maximum DOP [PDOP or HDOP]: DOP values considered “good” are less than 3. Values greater than 7 are considered poor. Thus, small DOP is associated with widely separated satellites. No position will be computed when the selected DOP type exceeds this limit. 11 English MM CE GS Guide.book Page 11 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM MM CE GS Guide.book Page 12 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM English • Minimum SNR: Unless you are very familiar with this parameter, it is recommended to keep the default value. SNR stands for Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Ensure your SNR mask is not set too low (less than 20). GPS signals with lower SNRs will be very noisy and contribute to accuracy degradation. • Elevation Mask: Angle that specifies that any satellite must be at least a specified number of degrees above the horizon before the signals from the satellite are to be used. Ensure that the elevation mask set in your receiver is high enough (15 degrees or more) to avoid using satellites near the horizon as they are often noisier than satellites higher overhead. • Antenna Height: Enter the height of the MobileMapper CE unit from the ground when it is being used in the field so that the receiver can accurately project its computed positions to the ground. Tap Apply after making your changes. To return to the default settings, tap Reset to Default. Then tap OK to close the window. By default, the GPS is configured to track satellites in normal conditions of reception. 12 Viewing Current GPS Status GPS Status is part of the GPS Utilities provided. It allows you to quickly check the current status of the GPS constellation. It can also be used to log and playback NMEA data. Select the tab, then Programs>GPS Utilities>GPS Status. Signal Quality/Navigation Window (Sig/Nav) This window allows you to monitor Signal/Noise ratios for received satellites. This information is shown in graphical form. The signal quality window will grow or shrink to accommodate the number of satellites in view. The Position pane provides the coordinates of the current GPS position, including elevation. The “GPS Mode” bar displays the type of position being calculated by the GPS receiver. There are three groups of GPS modes that can be displayed: NOFIX, 2D/3D, and differential modes. Azimuth and Elevation Graph (Azmth/Elvn) This graph shows all the satellites currently in view. Each satellite is identified by its pseudorandom number (PRN), its azimuth and elevation angles. 13 English MM CE GS Guide.book Page 13 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM MM CE GS Guide.book Page 14 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM English Panel Window (Panel) This window displays the following parameters relevant to the MobileMapper CE unit: speed, altitude, heading and vertical speed. Statistics Window (Stats) This window provides the averaged coordinates of the computed position and shows the accuracy figures corresponding to the GPS receiver used in static mode. The Dilution of Precision (DOP) values are also displayed. 14 English MM CE GS Guide.book Page 15 Monday, June 20, 2005 11:04 AM Working in Windows CE .NET Environment User Interface For Text Input MobileMapper CE comes with an integrated physical keypad and like most Windows CE devices, you may also use an on-screen keyboard to enter text.
