5.3 Examples to configure the power mode of GPS module
The GPS module supports different power modes that user can configure by issuing
software commands.
5.3.1 Standby mode
User can issue software command to make GPS module go into standby mode that
consumes less than 200uA current. GPS module will be awaked when receiving any byte.
The following flow chart is an example to make GPS module go into standby mode and
then wake up.

if command is accepted.
End
GPS is in periodic mode
End
GPS is in normal mode
5.3.3 AlwaysLocateTM mode
AlwaysLocateTM is an intelligent controller of periodic mode. Depending on the
environment and motion conditions, GPS module can adaptively adjust working/standby
time to achieve balance of positioning accuracy and power consumption. In this mode, the
host CPU does not need to control GPS module until the host CPU needs the GPS position
data. The following flow chart is an example to make GPS module go into
AlwaysLocateTm mode and then back to normal operation mode.

software commands. Note that the configurations by software commands are stored in the
battery-backed SRAM that is powered through VBACKUP pin. Once it drains out, the
default/factory settings will be applied.
Due to the transmitting capacity per second of the current baud rate, GPS module has to be
changed to higher baud rate for high update rate of position fix. The user can use the following
software commands to change baud rate.
Baud rate

Factory default
$PMTK251,0*28<CR><LF>

Note: <CR> means Carriage Return, i.e. 0x0D in hexadecimal. <LF> means Line Feed, i.e. 0x0A in
hexadecimal.
If the user does not want to change baud rate, you can reduce the output NMEA sentences
by the following software commands.

Note 1: The minimum interval of position fix is 100ms, i.e. the maximum update rate is 10Hz.
Note 2: The current consumption is the same with the update rate of 1Hz.
5.5 Configure the static navigation parameter
The output position of GPS module will keep the same and output speed will be zero if the
actual speed is below the threshold of the static navigation parameter. This is useful for different
applications. For example, the car stopped at a red light will get stationary GPS position if the
threshold is 1.5m/s. It is better to disable this function by setting threshold to 0 for pedestrian
navigation. This function is default disabled.
The format of the software command is as below.
$PMTK386,speed threshold*checksum<CR><LF>
The unit of speed threshold is meter per second. The range of speed threshold is from
0.1m/s to 2.0m/s. Value 0 is to disable the function.
