B10 Bluetooth GPS Receiver | Introduction

Introduction

Whether you travel in your own country, or overseas, the B10 receiver will provide you with a Global Positioning System (GPS) based location accurate to within 5m (15ft) for 95% of the time. The B10 receiver is a dual-function GPS receiver, which can transmit satellite information to a PDA or laptop with Bluetooth interfaces. The B10 receiver contains: a GPS antenna to receive signals from the GPS satellites an internal microcomputer to calculate the position of the receiver on Earth and update position data every second a Bluetooth link to send the GPS position to your PDA within a radius of less than 10m (33ft) a built-in rechargeable battery. The B10 receiver can be used anywhere; for example, in your pocket or your vehicle glovebox, although it is preferred that the receiver has a clear view of the sky and can receive GPS signals easily.

GPS and GPS Signals

The B10 receiver will send the GPS position information to your PDA or laptop computer which may then be used by your third-party software to plot your position on a map and direct you to your destination. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any time, free of charge, and is accurate to within 5m (15ft). GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilized by GPS receivers, such as your B10, to determine an exact location. Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide a position or "GPS fix" (latitude and longitude), for vehicle navigation systems. To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure your B10 is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors and has an unobstructed view of the sky. Your B10 can operate in all weather types except snowfall.
For more GPS information, see the GPS Navigation - Frequently Asked Questions guide, which is available on our website. To visit our website, see: http://www.navman.com.

Device Name

NAVMAN GPS TWO

Passkey / Device PIN

When a connection has been established between your PDA/laptop and B10 receiver, the light on the B10 receiver will change to flash once every 3 seconds. 4. Pocket PC Only Determine the Bluetooth COM Port. Identify the outbound COM port used to create a serial port connection between your PDA and the B10 receiver by following the documentation supplied with your PDA or Bluetooth card. Specify the outbound COM port in your third-party software to receive GPS data from the B10 receiver. You are now ready to obtain a GPS fix.
How does my B10 get a GPS Fix?
The term "GPS fix" is used to describe when your B10 receiver has enough information from four or more GPS satellites to calculate your position. You can monitor the strength of the GPS signal using your third-party software. See your third-party software User Manual for more information. When you turn on your B10 receiver, it may take several minutes to get the first GPS fix. You can minimize the amount of time this takes by: Positioning the B10 receiver according to the guidelines. For more information, see "How do I position the B10 receiver in a vehicle?" on page 15. Remaining stationary until the B10 receiver has a GPS fix.
