AAssisteed GPS
Assisted GPS (A-GPS or aGPS) uses files containing supplementary information to reduce the time
needed to determine the current position. Assisted GPS files for the GP-N100 remain valid for about
two weeks after download. Note that the GP-N100 will continue to function normally in the absence
of valid assisted GPS data, although more time may be required to determine the current position.
