Getting to work

In order to always know about your location, you need to do the following:

Important! Of course, before you start using the device, you need to configure basic points, such as:

• how to set the time on the tablet
• how to set wallpaper on android without cropping

1. Turn on your mobile device.
2. Go to the applications section.
3. Visit the playmarket and fill the device’s memory with the cards you need.
4. Go to the settings and activate the “Location” function.
5. We make the selection of the necessary data to determine the location and check the item “GPS satellites”.

If everything is clear here, then how to install the navigator on smartphone? How to proceed further?

Important! If you use mobile data, it is better to switch them to a wireless Wi-Fi connection, since you will need a lot to download. However, if there is no way to connect to Wi-Fi, you will have to spend mobile Internet. To do this, find out in more detail: which operator is more profitable for you and Which SIM is better for the Internet on the phone.

For an example we will take the tablet device based on the Android operating system, therefore we will use Google Maps. This application is stored in the device’s memory:

• You need to find a shortcut with an arrow that points up.
• Here you can find the shortest route to your destination. The software will draw the path on its own and set the approximate arrival time.
• You can even consider the option when the database itself selects the most optimal route, and you arrive at the time.

But here another problem appears, which is caused by the fact that this application requires a constant Internet connection, and not all tablet PCs have a GPS module. There is only one way out - to use an external GPS-receiver.

Important! Please note that not all device models are compatible with such receivers. Before buying, you need to make sure that these devices will work together. Sometimes the solution is to download the necessary resource in a different way, for example, install the application on android from a computer.

Using Bluetooth:

1. Activate the mobile device and the purchased module.
2. On the first of them we connect bluetooth and wait for the interaction of devices.
3. Now you need to enter the password (most often it is “000”).
4. We go into the settings of the tablet and allow it to use GPS, so that it can track all your movements on the map.

This method turns your tablet into a real navigator with satellite geolocation.

Important! But some people face a problem when the navigator does not want to pair with the module. In this case, you need to go to the Play Market and download from there an application called Bluetooth GPS Provider. This software will need to be launched each time you turn on the navigator function on your mobile device.

Can I install the navigator on the tablet in another way? Of course, be patient and read.

Using a USB cable

The previous option is a bit simpler than the one you will now meet:

1. To get started, you need to download and activate the USB GPS 4 Droid software.
2. In the course of work, it is necessary to mark with a single quote Start-Stop GPS. These actions will cause the Choose GPS device speed function to be activated, in which you will have to enter the code designation indicated on the receiver.
3. Next, you need to get into the tablet’s settings and go to the section titled “For Developers”.
4. In the next context menu, mark the line “Fictitious location” (for some models of devices there may be other names).
5. Everything seems to be ready, it remains to launch the navigator.
6. In order to check its operation, just start using it.

In fact, the variety of choice of navigation software for the Android OS is simply amazing and scary. There is always a choice - use the free version or purchase the full one. It is better not to overpay and use what is available to each user.

Installing a GPS navigator on the device is not so difficult. If you still doubt this undertaking, then familiarize yourself with the significant advantages.
