Hi,
It is to use the agps functionality. IE make the receiver aquire faster by downloading the almanack every 7 days. In older receivers having this functionality was useful, but, the iBlue receivers acquire fast enough that it probably isn't necessary anymore.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] GPS View and iBlue737

I'm doing something wrong, and I don't know what it is.
Thanks to info from this list, I've used the GPS View program to keep my
iBlue receiver updated (737, as I recall.)
Several times recently, I've tried to update my receiver using GPS View,
and
the update doesn't happen after I hit update.
There are many unexplained choices in the program, so I wonder if I made a
mistake in the past that's preventing the receiver from being updated.
I've verified in the device manager that the receiver is on the com port
that I'm accessing in GPS View.
Since it's been a few months since my last successful update, I may have
forgotten a part of the procedure.
I hope this message isn't too vague. Any thoughts/help appreciated.
