• Check if another device or application is using
the virtual COM port which the ASUS
GPS-BT100 is trying to use. Turn off the
device or application that uses the same
virtual COM port as that of the ASUS
GPS-BT100.
• Reset the PDA or close other software
applications running on the PDA.
• Check whether the navigation application
and the ASUS GPS-BT100 has the same
virtual COM port Baud rate.
• The device power is low. Fully discharge the
device battery, then recharge.
• Disable the "Search GPS automatically"
feature of the navigation application.
• Determine the virtual COM port where the
ASUS GPS-BT100 is connected to, then
establish connection to the device manually.
• Use the latest version of the navigation
application, then try again.
• Disable the auto-search GPS function of the
PDA navigation application, then establish
connection to the ASUS GPS-BT100
manually.
• The car windshield tint is blocking the ASUS
GPS-BT100 view of the sky. Try installing
the device on another location inside your
car. You can also install an external antenna
(optional) for better GPS signal.
• Heavy foliage, vegetation, or structures are
blocking the ASUS GPS-BT100 view of the
sky. Try moving to an open space.
• The device usually takes more time to
acquire GPS data during first time use. Data
acquisition also takes time when you use
the device after charging it from a full
discharge.
• The device memory data may be corrupted.
Fully discharge the device, then recharge.
