    CONNECT WAYFINDER ACCESS TO A GPS RECEIVER

    Sublink: Connect GPS Sublink: PIN codes Sublink: GPS symbols
    Connect a GPS receiver
    The GPS receiver is connected via Bluetooth (if you don't have a mobile phone with an integrated GPS). It should not be placed more than 10 metres/30 feet from the phone. The GPS receiver gets signals from the satellites when it is placed in clear view of the sky.

    Move to an open area if you are close to tall buildings or other objects that may impede the connection. On your first try it could take a few minutes, and even up to twenty minutes. After frequent connections to the satellites, the signals are received within a few seconds. Follow the instructions below to connect your external GPS.

    1. You will need a GPS reciever to recieve GPS position data and to fully use the Wayfinder application. If you don't have a GPS, you can still plan routes but you will not be able to navigate and get voice instructions. Please follow the instructions below to connect a GPS receiver.
    2. To begin with, charge the battery of the GPS receiver before you turn it on.
    3. Please read the instructions manual that came with your GPS receiver.
    4. Make sure that the GPS has a clear view of the sky; e.g. put it next to a window if you are inside a building or on the dashboard of your car.
    5. Wait until the receiver indicates that it is receiving signals from the satellites.
    6. Open the Wayfinder application on your phone. You should be asked to connect to a Bluetooth device. Answer yes.
    7. Select your Bluetooth GPS receiver from the list. Wayfinder Access will tell you if the GPS are connected or not.

     PIN codes

    • Emtac: 0183
    • Falcom Navi: 1111
    • Holux: 6268
    • M-tec: 0183
    • Parrot: 1234
    • Royal Digital: 1234

    If you have another GPS receiver, and 0000 is not working, please check with the GPS supplier to find out the PIN code.
