that you connect the Bluetooth GPS receiver to a virtual serial port (also known as a "COM
port"). See your Bluetooth software's user manual for specific instructions.
If you are prompted for a security code to pair your Bluetooth GPS, use 0183.
2. Open CoPilot and find the GPS signal.
a. Option 1: Select Find GPS to automatically scan through your PC's COM ports until it
finds the Bluetooth GPS connection.
b. Option 2 (Advanced): If you know the number of the virtual serial port to which the
Bluetooth GPS is connected, go to Guidance Mode and select Options. Then select GPS
Status and set the GPS COM Port (ex: "COM 10").

USB Connection

If you are using a USB connection you will have one wire which attaches the GPS receiver
to the laptop through its USB port. Plug the receiver into the laptop after Windows is
finished booting up.
Windows XP Users: When you first connect your USB receiver, you might see a Windows
message indicating that the drivers have not passed Windows Logo testing (or a similar
warning). Ignore this message and click Continue Anyway if it appears.
