These are only a few simple steps that you need to follow before using your USB GPS receiver:
•
Install the USB driver and onto your laptop from the included CD-ROM or download the files from our web-site
•
Plug-in the GPS receiver into your laptop.
NOTE: From within your mapping, or navigation software (including the supplied GPS Information utility), you will
need to manually configure the selection of the COM port to what was assigned to the GPS receiver so that proper
communication between the GPS receiver and mapping program can occur. Most all software requires that you
manually configure the COM port setting for any GPS device you use.
