3.7. Use GPS (Build-to-Order)
With the GPS module, the computer is able to discover your location on earth. The
GPS module is a GPS receiver that needs no 3G connection for positioning. However it
requires a clear view of the sky to be location-aware.
When the computer has the GPS and RS232 2-in-1 module, some drivers are needed
to make them run. And the GPS also needs a location-aware utility to work with. Follow
the instruction in 2.11. Driver Installation on page 42 to install the drivers and the utility.
To use the GPS:
1. After the drivers are installed for the GPS / RS232 module, two USB Serial Port s will
be generated in the system. Check it up by the system’s Control Panel | Hardware
& Sound | Devices and Printers | Device Manager .
Note: Among the two newly generated COM ports, the latter is the GPS data
streaming port. For example, if it is COM8 and COM9 that are generated, then
COM9 is the GPS COM port while COM8 is the RS232 COM port.
In case the COM port shows a question mark, which means the driver isn’t properly
installed, browse for the driver at \G1052 Autorun\usb to com and install the driver
again.
