11.2 Downloading Location Data via QuickGPS
Before using the device for GPS navigation, open QuickGPS to download ephemeris data (current satellite
position and timing information). QuickGPS significantly speeds up the time for determining your GPS position.
QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from web servers, instead of from satellites, using your device’s Internet
connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or a data connection.
To download GPS data
Tap Start > All Programs > QuickGPS.
Tap Download on the Download satellites.
If prompted, tap Yes to enable the location setting.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data
when the validity of the data expires.
Changing the download options
To configure download options, choose from the following
options on the Download satellites screen:
Download satellites automatically
Automatically download satellite positions. This may incur
additional data charges.
Download satellites when roaming
Automatically download satellite positions when you
are out of range of your home network. This may incur
additional data charges.
Download satellites when connected to PC via
ActiveSync
Automatically download satellite positions when your
phone is connected to your computer via ActiveSync. Your
computer must be connected to the Internet to download
the data.
