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?

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.
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.

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.

What is Differential GPS?
When the US defence department developed the GPS satellite system, it was meant for military applications – to help pinpoint the exact position of a soldier in the field, for example. That system is extremely accurate, within something like 50 feet. The DoD didn’t want to give that capability to the enemy, so they scrambled that signal. The signal that’s available to the public has been deliberately tweaked to provide a position within about 200 feet.The kits all come with marine grade Velcro (hook and loop fastener) material.
