GPS Navigation System
Can the NavTalk Pilot GPS/Phone be sold over the counter?
No. Although the Garmin NavTalk Pilot GPS/Phone is classified in the handheld electronics portion of the Garmin dealer catalog, it still requires installation by a Garmin and Aircell dealer. The telephone portion of this unit incorporates installation of a specifically designed celluar antenna and interface module. Furthermore, it is critical that the antenna is installed properly for proper function. In addition, the Aircell service can only be initiated by an Aircell dealer.
Are there any monthly service fees?

This works very well for small flat devices that need to be removed often. (radar detector, cell phones, toll transponders, change holders, garage door openers and small hand-held GPS).
Can the data from MobileMapper be post-processed?
You can purchase an option for the receiver to record the GPS measurements required for post-processing to sub-meter accuracy. After downloading this data together with data from a reference receiver to the PC, you use the current version of MobileMapper Office to perform differential correction. All existing MobileMapper receivers can be upgraded with this new option once they have been updated to receiver software version 6.00 or higher.Inquire with your Dealer/Agent about the plan that is included with the purchase of your MobileAngel GPS device.
Will Meade incorporate a more advanced PEC system in this telescope than is currently provided?
MAX utilizes Meade’s existing Sony GPS technology. For permanently mounted installations, GPS can be disabled. Meade offers an accessory for LNT scopes (Such as ETX Premier or LX90) that gets WWVB time from Colorado . Otherwise, the time is the same as the existing RCX scopes. Both RCX and MAX get accurate time from the GPS signal. It shows you the GPS time at start-up.

How can I install the navigation system in the car?
We recommend that you attach the suction cup to the windshield. If you install the suction cup somewhere else, the navigation system may not be correctly attached. The external GPS aerial antenna should be placed on the car roof and the TMC aerial antenna should be placed along the windshield cups in such a way you have two parallel lines with the aerial antenna by using the two suction cups. This will ensure a better reception. Do not remove the plastic sheet in the suction cup system.Inquire with your Dealer/Agent about the plan that is included with the purchase of your MobileAngel GPS device.The kits all come with marine grade Velcro (hook and loop fastener) material.
