Mfr/Brand: Ectaco / 900 Series
Your GPS Receiver for Ectaco 900-series Translators will be new, not used.
Summary
The Ectaco GPS Reciever clips on to your 900-series translator. Input your destination and you'll be on the way. The system records its position, time, date, speed, heading, and altitude; you can review your traveled routes in the saved section.
Be sure to also buy the maps you need. Go to the Maps tab and Add to Cart.
Use your translator as a GPS. The GPS accessory is a tiny GPS receiver (GPSR) that clips on to your 900-series translator. You can then use the GPS program on the translator, plus a GPS map card, to work with live GPS signals coming through the GPS Receiver.
This allows you to navigate to a location, just as you would with any typical GPS unit. But now you don't have to carry yet another device.
How To Use It
To start the GPS:
Open the Navigation System application on your translator.
Change the SD cards out, installing the card with the maps that you need (see Maps tab).
To get navigation (directions seem detailed, but it's really quite simple and obvious what to do when using the device):
Press ARROW LEFT twice on the left Sidebar on the screen.
Press NAVIGATION SYSTEM.
Press GPS below twice and make sure number of SATELLITES IN USE is more than 0.
Press MENU.
Press FIND LOCATION.
Press FIND STREET ADDRESS.
Input Street address: house number, street name, zip-code. Example: 6660 E Hampden Ave 80224 (no need to input city name and state; make sure you use space appropriately).
Select appropriate state in the black box on the right top corner of the screen.
Press FIND.
You should see the street address on the white background. Tap it.
To start navigation, press NAVIGATE TO.
