Using the GPS
- When using the GPS, it must be in clear view of the sky.
- The indicator light on the GPS will be on steady when it is receiving power.
- When the indicator light flashes periodically, the GPS has acquired a
satellite signal and is operating properly.
To Verify the COM Port used by the GPS
- Click Start, Control Panel, Performance & Maintenance, System, Hardware,
Device Manager.
- In the list, find "Ports (COM & LPT)" and check the Virtual COM Port, which
was created by the USB driver. For example: USB to Serial Port [COM #].
- Use this COM Port when connecting to the GPS. Or, use the GPS Setup Wizard
that is included with Maptech's suite of Navigation products to connect the GPS
to the software.
Please note that the Virtual COM Port number might be different on every
computer or may change each time new devices are installed.
