What is the purpose of the aided GPS checkbox in the devices' Advanced Parameters tab?

Aided GPS is ephemeris data (satellite positional data) that can be sent to the unit every hour via RF or W-Fi. When the ignition is turned on, the unit determines if the ephemeris data in memory is valid and uses the data to obtain a quicker latch time.The data allows the on-board GPS to remain in a warm state rather than a cold state. A warm GPS latch may take seconds, while a cold latch could be more than 1 minute.The use of Aided GPS is only supported in GO3/GO4 RF and Wi-Fi platforms. The aided GPS hardware/software solution integrates with Checkmate 5.3 to provide aided GPS data. The customer will be required to purchase the aided GPS hardware package with GPS Antenna. Only 1 aided GPS hardware package is required for the entire organization since the service can be made available to every fleet within the organization via Checkmate.
