2. Charge GPS Logger

GPS Logger Dock/ USB Cable serves as a charger as well as data transfer medium. Please follow the instructions shown in the illustrations below to connect your GPS Logger to PC and have it fully charged.

It takes about 4 hours to fully charge your GPS Logger for the first time. 2-hour charge is enough for later use. The red LED indicator stays on during charging, and goes off when charging is complete. Remove your GPS Logger when charging is complete.

Tip: You can also use any market available standard USB car charger or USB travel charger to charge up the battery power for your GPS Logger.

Note: One side of the USB connector marked with an arrow should face up when you intend to connect it to the device, in order to avoid unexpected damage caused by incorrect plugging.

Note: @trip PC automatically adds GPS information to the photos taken on your journey with fussy time mapping; therefore, setting up a correct time for your camera/ camera phone will enhance the mapping procedure.

4. Initiate your GPS Logger for the first GPS fix

It requires a clear sky for your GPS Logger to receive GPS signals and acquires a GPS fix. Please leave your GPS Logger on the balcony, the top of your car, or anyplace where there is no obstruction or shading to fasten up the GPS fix acquisition for your GPS Logger.

Once the first GPS fix is successfully acquired, both the blue and red LED indicators of GPS Logger will blink simultaneously twice, indicating that track logging has begun. GPS Logger will then start logging based on the tracking interval configured in hardware settings.

Note:
1. Find the LED indicator demos in GPS Logger LED indicators.
2. For more detailed information on the GPS fix, correct wear and use of your GPS Logger, please refer to Essentials for Beginners.

Click Import GPS Track and follow the on-screen instruction to import the track logs saved on GPS Logger to your computer. Click on the imported track, and you can see it on Google Map in few seconds.

Note:
