top of your car, or anyplace where there is no obstruction or shading to fasten up the GPS fix acquisition for your GPS Logger.

Once the first GPS fix is successfully acquired, both the blue and red LED indicators of GPS Logger will blink simultaneously twice, indicating

that track logging has begun. GPS Logger will then start logging based on the tracking interval configured in hardware settings.

Note:

1. Find the LED indicator demos in GPS Logger LED indicators

.

When taking GPS Logger from indoors to outdoors, it usually takes longer to get a GPS fix. Please place your GPS Logger face-up toward the

sky and press the button to acquire a GPS fix.

Tip: If GPS Logger functions normally and gets a GPS fix, both the red and blue LED indicators blink simultaneously twice, indicating the current GPS information is

logged successfully to the device memory.

Please always place your GPS Logger exposed to the open sky to ensure the successful GPS fix acquisition. Refer to the illustration below to

expose your GPS Logger as much as possible in the open sky to ensure stable and successful GPS fix acquisition.

GPS Logger setup

GPS Logger: GPS Logger is water-resistant, designed for a broader use. Multiple tracking modes with different data logging intervals work for

both short & long journey.

Note: C lick

on the main menu bar of @trip PC to configure your GPS Logger. For detailed setup information, please refer to Hardware & Software Settings

.

Camera/ Camera phones: @trip PC automatically adds GPS information to the photos taken on your journey with fussy time mapping;

therefore, setting up a correct time for your camera/ camera phone will enhance the mapping procedure.

Note: Besides auto-mapping, you can also manually map the photos to your Trip. For more information, please refer to Compose Trip

.

Safety information

Please do not leave your GPS Logger exposed to high temperature for a long time, such as on the inside of the windshield of a car at noon in

the summer, to avoid the overheat to cause any device malfunction or danger.

GPS Classroom

What is GPS: Global Position System (GPS) is developed and operated by the Department of Defense (DOD) of the United States, on which the

accuracy and maintenance of this system fully depends. Any change made by the authorities might influence the accuracy and performance of

the GPS equipments.

How GPS works: GPS provides satellite signals which are specially coded for the computation in a GPS receiver to produce the position,

velocity and time. Usually it requires four GPS satellite signals to computer correctly the position in three dimensions and the offset time of the

GPS receiver’s clock.

Limitations on GPS reception: Initial or any use after a longer interval over four hours takes a few minutes for a successful location. Any

obstruction above or around the receiver, such as high buildings in the neighborhood, or bad reception location, such as in a tunnel or in the

building, will influence the time needed for a successful GPS location.

Cold Start: Cold start of the GPS device refers to the state of the tracker when time and position are known to within some limits, the almanac

known, and the ephemeris unknown.

Example: If the GPS device has been off for a few hours, and the ephemeris data is known for at least three satellites, the start up will be a warm start and fix the

positional in 10 - 20 seconds. Therefore, if ephemeris data for only 2 or less satellites is known it's a cold start and acquisition will take as much as a few minutes.

Warm Start: Warm start of the GPS device refers to the state of the device when time and position are known to within some limits, the

almanac known, and at least 3 satellite ephemeris are known from previous operation.

Example: If the GPS device has been off for only a few minutes, the ephemeris data for all the satellites will be known and therefore the GPS device will fix the

positional in a matter of seconds.

Note: The almanac data is an estimated (computed) data and can be valid for months while the ephemeris is only valid for 3 - 6 hours.

Note: Actual acquisition time depends on the terrain and satellite coverage.

Use GPS Logger as GPS Receiver

A GPS Logger serves not only as a GPS data logger that records all the GPS data on your journey but also works as a GPS receiver for many

navigation software by third parties. Connect it to any PC installed with navigation software to work both together as a GPS navigation

system.

GPS Logger with PC

1.

Slide GPS Logger onto GPS Logger Dock/ USB Cable and connect it to your PC USB port.

2.

Please go to Start-> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT), and note down

the com port number of "GPS Logger USB Com Port" device.

3.

Please refer to the user manual of your navigation software to set up the transfer port and set the Baud rate between 9600 and

115200.

4.

The blue LED indicator starts to flash when the setup is completed. GPS Logger now works as GPS receiver for your navigation

software.

Note: When you connect GPS Logger to the PC installed with navigation software, please select the specific COM port that GPS Logger is assigned.

Bluetooth GPS Logger

1.

During Bluetooth GPS Logger is turned off, long press (5 seconds) to enter pairing mode. Long press (1.5 seconds) the button to

power off Bluetooth GPS Logger.

2.

The blue and red LED indicators blink in turn for 5 minutes during pairing mode.

3.

Once Bluetooth GPS Logger is successfully paired, it will not exit the pairing mode automatically. It is normal to see both the red and

blue LED indicators flash continuously.

*If necessary, enter the passcode "0000" to complete pairing.

4.

Please refer to the user manual of your navigation software for the detailed information on using Bluetooth GPS Logger as GPS receiver

for your navigation software.
