GPS Menu Settings - Motorola Q Forum

av8r1993 · 05-27-2008, 09:24 PM

I was in the GPS settings menu today and was wondering what the values for:

Number of Fixes
Time between fixes
performance
accuracy

Should be set to and what they mean. If you know, please enlighten me. Thanks.

Is this a Sprint Q9c or Verizon?

I have the number of fixes set to always on, the time between fixes to 1 second, the performance set to 16 seconds, and the accuracy set to 1 meter. It's been working well with those settings for about 6 months.

Do you know what the significance is of the performance setting by any chance?

No, I never looked into it. That's why I left that one unchanged.

Do you notice any difference in the settings that you did change? Was it really more accurate?

well since it came with the accuracy initially set to 256 meters, Yes. Basically with the settings I have it works as well as an in car GPS (until I lose data signal but I'm working on that part)

Hey, thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Let me know when you tackle the data signal issue.

that part's easy actually, but not cheap. You can get garmin mobile XT, Copilot, or TomTom has a smartphone offering too. Those come with the maps for the entire country. Of the 3 Garmin's is the cheapest (I think) @ $99
