3. COM PORT VERIFICATION (Windows) 1. Once your USB Driver has been installed, you will need to confirm which COM Port your PC has assigned to it in order to properly configure any software that will be utilizing the GPS data being received.
4. INITIALIZING YOUR GPS RECEIVER Before using your ND-100 receiver for navigation (especially for the first time), the receiver must obtain a local GPS fix (coordinates) of the current position. To do this, take your laptop (with your USB driver and the mapping software loaded and configurable) to an open area that has a clear view to the sky (such as a park or empty field).
NOTE: Configuration (or selection) of an assigned COM port for the GPS device from within your mapping or charting software must be completed whenever using the software for the first time. 6. UNINSTALLING THE USB DRIVER (Windows) To uninstall the ND-100 driver, click the Windows START button >>PROGRAMS>>PL-2303 USB- Serial Driver and select UNINSTALLER from the menu.
Tall buildings and other objects that block the receiver’s view to the sky make it infeasible to determine your location. Sometimes the satellites are not overhead but near the horizon. In these cases the GPS must have a clear view of the horizon. 8.
