Facilitating Initial Tracking ____________________
(continued)
This command sets an approximate time for faster initial GPS acquisition.
Following powerup, the Receiver obtains the current time from satellite data.
This process occurs automatically. Providing an approximate time, however,
reduces the time to initial GPS tracking by assisting the Receiver in finding
satellites.
