9.2 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS
Before using the phone 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 phone’s Internet
connection via Wi-Fi, ActiveSync or a data connection.
To open QuickGPS
Click Start > QuickGPS.
To download GPS data
Click Download on the QuickGPS screen.
On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the downloaded
data. As time passes, the remaining days and hours of validity will be
shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest ephemeris data when the
validity of the data expires.
