Gps Performance Enhancement; Peer-Location On The Display (Astro Conventional Only) - Motorola APX 6000 User Manual

GPS Performance Enhancement

Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to
complete a location calculation successfully. You then
see a message indicating that your radio cannot
connect to enough visible satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a
fix, take note of the following guidelines:
• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face
position.
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best
where there is nothing between your radio and the
open sky.
Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional
only)
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice
transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in
conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio
transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-
location, the voice should be directly sent from one
radio to another radio without passing through any
infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone or
DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and
receiving radio must be configured to enable them to
send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You can
check with your nearest qualified technician for more
details.
Note:
If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed
Mode channel, and the voice transmission is
via conventional ASTRO system then the
radio can receive the location coordinates of
its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel
or Scan Talkback channel.
Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS
coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the
display shows the coordinates available in full or in
short coordinates. There are two different formats
available. Refer to the following list for the details
shown in the Peer-Location quick text. Consult your
agent to pick the best format to configure to your
radio.
