Update the AGPS data from internet assistance server to boost warm

A-GPS is a system where outside sources, such as an assistance

server and reference network, help a GPS receiver boosts

performance beyond that of the same receiver in a stand-alone

mode by downloading the almanac data from an assistance server.

Note1: A-GPS can boost GPS warm start speed to always lower than

15sec fix after the first fix. The A-GPS efficiency will decrease

when time goes by. If it expires, you would have to download

almanac data again because the acceleration efficiency of fix

will become totally ineffective.

Note2: Please don’t update the almanac data via Bluetooth

interface.

K. Trouble Shooting

Question

Answer

Can BT-Q1000XT be

used to navigate when

travel log is on?

Yes, you can use BT-Q1000XT to

navigate when travel log is on

simultaneously.

Where can I find a

travel charger for the

GPS unit?

DC Input range of BT-Q1000XT is

4.5~5.5V. You can use a travel

charger which support DC output

range from 4.5~5.5V. You can also

use a common mini USB cable to

charge your unit via the laptop.

Besides, the battery used for

BT-Q1000XT is compatible with

Nokia phones series: BL-5C.

Can the logged data be

downloaded through

Bluetooth?

Actually it’s okay for Q1000XT to

download data via Bluetooth

interface. However, since it is not

stable and with lower download

performance than that of USB

interface, we don’t officially admit

this feature.

Why does BT-Q1000XT

only can log

150,000~160,000

waypoints?

We activate more options previously

to provide detailed GPS information

for user’s reference and download.

So it would use more memory. If you

reduce the options (under Log

Format) for your log, it would save

the memory and increase more

waypoints.

My BT-Q1000XT could

not use 42 hours?

BT-Q1000XT can use 42 hours under

the optimum environment. GPS

would spend more power
