Battery Saver (GPS Save)
This function will turn the GPS power source Off after the
programmed timer expires if position data is not determined
during the maximum catching time (approximately 5 minutes).
To prevent unnecessary battery consumption, when there are
many reception satellites, the GPS is stabilized and position
data can be determined, the GPS power source repeatedly
turns On and Off.
