Unlike CDMA, GPS will not work inside buildings. To receive GPS signals the antenna must have a view of the sky. The best location is on a roof-top with the antenna in view of a maximum amount of sky. However, our GPS products have the ability to operate in a single-satellite mode. This lets you avoid the trouble and expense of a rooftop installation by allowing you to mount the antenna in a window of your building with only a partial view of the sky.

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a technology that uses the position of satellites to determine locations on earth. GPS is an essential tool for GIS(Geographical Information System) because it allows for the gathering of data that locationwise is highly accurate. GPS satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. See similar questions...

Typically when a wireless phone is not fully operating while inside of a home or building, it is because of the interference with our cellular towers. You may not be receiving a full signal when trying to connect your calls because a wireless signal is limited when it tries to pass through brick, steel, or other material. You can usually make a call with a minimal amount of signal strength; however, receiving a call requires approximately full signal strength. See similar questions...

The ThunderBolt is designed to work nearly as well inside most buildings as it does outside. However, certain types of buildings with metal walls and roofs might cause a loss of sensitivity in normal storm detection. A general rule of thumb is that the ThunderBolt will operate normally in any building that allows reception of normal radio signals. If you have questions about a specific building location, check with Customer Support on the toll-free number. See similar questions...

Run the RealPlayer program (called realplay) and from the Help menu select Mime Type/Plugin Install.... This will install the reqiured plugins and mime-type files within your account and configure Netscape to use them. If you are running Mathematica via a remote X windows session, you need to use the xmathematica command rather than the mathematica command. This sets the default font server to tcp/linux2.ph.utexas.edu:7100 which will provide the needed fonts. See similar questions...

Whether the PLB receives the GPS location information from an external GPS or an integral GPS chip, the longitude and latitude coordinates are included in the digital data stream sent to the satellite. This location information is updated once every 20 minutes for beacons with internal GPS. Those with external GPS do not update GPS information unless the beacon is switched off and then on again.

It is cellular (GSM) based. The SlimTRAK I/O Processors (IOPs) collect incoming vehicle data from the wireless communication media (e.g. Radio, Cellular, CDPD, Satellite) and present it onto the Server network in a standard format (independent of the wireless medium over which it was originally transmitted). The IOPs act as information sources to the network. See similar questions...

No. The YEOMAN will be useful as a trip planner, plotter or Dead Reckoning computer without the GPS. When combined with GPS positioning YEOMAN plotters are a very powerful navigation tool but the plotter is still functional without the interface. Your YEOMAN was supplied with a practice chart for you to get you familiar with its many different features. When you connect power to your YEOMAN for the first time, it will automatically be in demonstration mode. See similar questions...

In principle, any GPS unit that puts out NMEA data should work, however, there have been reports of Roadnav not playing well with certain GPS units. A wiki page has been added to keep track of what GPS units work and what units don't work with Roadnav. If you haven't already, please post if your GPS unit works or not with Roadnav on that page. The map appearance can be customized by going into Preferences, selecting the Themes tab, selecting a theme, then clicking the Edit button. See similar questions...
