i did not see any device to georeference the anomaly (like a odometer) how does the gpr this process?

Yes,no odometer,because few users require it.We have built into the program tracking with GPS and making coordinates,but this is an option.

I don't know about that - I have only used the GPS Dongle with a laptop and with Google earth downloaded.

Thanks. The web updater didn't seem to work. Because my parents have the same GPS, I tried it in their receiver and it worked. I realized that the receiver itself was defective. I'm in the process of returning it - I will probably give another one a shot, overall I think it's a nice unit.

You would have to check with Garman the software fur the GPS comes from them

Maybe you need only to wait until it finds your location? Or maybe it is having trouble getting a signal? I haven't used the GPS myself. I tried a few online searches to find instructions, but really didn't find anything useful. Ground EFX does have its own website though, where you can speak to a representative or ask questions. (Groundefx.com) I hope you find your answers soon so that there would be no problems making an exchange if it is defective. Good luck. I will be back to give a better answer if I can find one.

As others have said, it measure your speed over ground via the GPS on the unit.

This is strictly a receiver, it will not record or show data. It is meant to be used as a tool for a program that needs accurate GPS info

save your money. get a garmin or something useful, this is a toy. forget customer service, youll get old on hold. you cant even buy a detail map for it. you don't need a speed sensor with a gps, it shows your speed.

just use the cordinates given by the gps. what is a "grid coordinate" anyway.

No, the odometer readings are not captured. The travel miles can be captured, but it is not the function of the device. It is the software (app) which probably uses smartphone's GPS to record travel miles.

Mike, I agree what Garmin said made no sense, but it is working today. So who knows what really happened. Where did you get those other updates for the traffic receiver?

If this thing cannot find me standing in my own front yard, how can you expect to find you deep in Mexico. In theory if you have current maps and the GPS hardware is working you should be able to go anywhere. However, mine purchased brand new had maps that were 16 versions off and it was 300 feet off as to my GPS location. I have been working with them for weeks to get it straight and fixed. First you will not have the correct cord to connect to your computer, so you cannot update the maps without it. Then the current maps costs extra up to $100, so you are not getting a useable product properly updated out of the box.

Check to see if your GPS is set for yardage or meters . This will make a difference in your readings.

I think you have to plug in to a compatible GPS device. This info is available in your owner's manual.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

Unknown. Mine is also...reviews prior to my purchase several years ago lamented this as well as it not displaying in mph.Engineering guess is an error in the algorithm...do not know what this says about any location accuracy, but then I didn't get it for that.

According to the manual that came with it theres a section called Using the Odometer which records the time and distance traveled. I am a golfer so I have never tried that function!
