11.2  Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS
Before you start to use your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS 
program first to download Ephemeris data (current satellite position and 
timing information) onto your device. This data is needed to determine the 
GPS position of your current location.
QuickGPS downloads Ephemeris data from a Web server, instead of 
from the satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which 
can be via ActiveSync or GPRS. This significantly speeds up the time for 
determining your GPS position.
To open QuickGPS
Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
To download data
Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.
 
On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the downloaded 
data to be  days. As days and time pass, the remaining days and time 
of validity will be shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest Ephemeris data 
when the validity of the data expires.
