If the phone is turned on, your text message is sent. If it’s off, you are prompted to turn on the phone. If you do 
so, the message is sent; otherwise when you tap ok, the message is saved in the Drafts folder and sent when 
the phone is turned on.

							Chapter 6 Using GPS Navigation
Introduction
The MC9500-K includes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology using the SiRFstar III chipset. GPS 
technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital 
radio signals. These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact clock time and are used 
to determine your location on the earth.
Software Installation
Third-party GPS navigation software is required. Evaluation software is available from various suppliers. For 
example; VisualGPS, visit: http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/
If interested in purchasing GPS navigation software check with the GPS software vendor (before purchasing, 
downloading, or installing any software) to determine that the application is compatible with the MC9500-K. Refer 
to the application’s user guide for application installation and setup information.
MC9500-K GPS Setup
The GPS-enabled MC9500-K uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, so the operating system automatically manages 
access to the GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access GPS data.
Ensure that the following settings are set on the MC9500-K:
1.Ta p  Start > Settings > System > External GPS icon.
2.In the Programs tab, ensure that the GPS program port drop-down list is set to None.
3.In the Hardware tab, ensure that the GPS hardware port drop-down list is set to COM8.
WARNING!When using the MC9500-K in a vehicle, it is the user’s responsibility to place, secure and use in a 
manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage or obstruct their view. It 
is the responsibility of the driver to operate the vehicle in a safe manner, maintain observation of 
all driving conditions at all times, and not become distracted by the device to the exclusion of safe 
driving practices. It is unsafe to operate the controls of the device while driving.

4.Ensure that the Baud rate drop-down list is set to 57600.
5.Ta p  ok to close the Setting window.
Operation
Acquiring satellite signals may take several seconds to a few minutes. It is best to be outside and have a clear, 
unobstructed view of the sky. Without a clear view, acquisition takes much longer and could result in the MC9500-K 
being unable to compute the initial position quickly. When operating the device indoors access to the GPS signals 
may be limited or unavailable. 
GPS Maps on microSD Cards
GPS navigation software vendors may sell maps on microSD cards. If using a microSD card with the GPS 
navigation software install the microSD memory card using procedure in Installing a microSD Card on page 1-3.
Answering a Phone Call While Using GPS
If you receive a phone call while using your GPS navigation software:
1.Answer the phone call by pressing the Answer button.
2.Once you end the phone call, press the End Call button to resume the audio on the GPS software.
Losing the GPS Signal While in a Vehicle
GPS performance on the MC9500-K may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and windshields, 
which can block the MC9500-K from receiving a GPS signal from satellites. To improve GPS signal strength, place 
the MC9500-K where there is a clear view of the sky. A direct line of sight is required between the MC9500-K and 
the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system that allows the user to track their position anywhere on the earth.
Assisted GPS
GPS can be used in stand-alone or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) modes. A Stand-alone GPS receiver downloads data 
from GPS satellites. In certain environments, it can take several minutes to get a fix. By using GPS Location 
servers, A-GPS dramatically reduces the TTFF (Time To First Fix) and improves the sensitivity of GPS receivers by 
providing them with data that they would ordinarily have to download from the GPS satellites. With the A-GPS data, 
GPS receivers can operate faster and more reliably.
NOTEUser can select COM port from the GPS program port drop-down list. If an application error message appears 
indicating that the COM port cannot be opened, ensure that a free COM port is selected.
NOTEWhen using a GPS navigation application, ensure that the MC9500-K does not go into suspend mode. If the 
MC9500-K suspends then the power to the GPS radio is removed. Upon resume the GPS receiver must reacquire 
a valid GPS signal, resulting in a a delay of positional information.
NOTEAnytime you are using GPS on the MC9500-K and you receive a phone call, the audio on the GPS navigation 
software is muted until you finish the call. 
						

							Using GPS Navigation 6 - 3
A-GPS follows the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol which allows a mobile device to communicate with 
a SUPL server. Refer to the EMDK Help file for information on setting up SUPL on the MC9500-K.
