Pairing with Windows 8
by selecting the Bluetooth tab:
Settings->Connections->Bluetooth
and switching on Bluetooth.
• On the right side of the screen will be a list
of
Available Devices
. Look for
XGPS10M-
xxxxxx
in the list of devices. (NOTE: the last 6
digits “
xxxxxx
” are part of the XGPS10M serial
number and will vary from device to device.)
You may need to tap “Scan” at the top of the
screen to refresh the list.
• Tap the
XGPS10M-xxxxxx
name.
• After a few seconds, the
XGPS10M-xxxxxx
name move will up into the “PAIRED DEVICES”
list and the word
Paired
will appear under the
name. However, the blue light on the XGPS10M
will continue to flash. The blue light does not
stop flashing until an application begins actively
requesting GPS information.
• In order for GPS-enabled apps to use informa-
tion from an external GPS like the XGPS10M,
you will need to install a helper app on your
Android device. This helper app runs in the
background and will let apps communicate with
the XGPS10M. Dual provides a free helper app
available on the Android Market. Please see the
FAQ section on the Dual website (http://gps.du-
alav.com/faq/xgps150-150a-150e/) for specific
recommendations and installation instructions.
A driver is not required to use the XGPS10M with
Windows 8. Please perform the following:
• Make sure the mode switch on the XGPS10M
is in the left position (for more information, see
Setup
).
• Turn on the XGPS10M. The blue Bluetooth
status light on the XGPS10M will begin to blink
slowly.
• Open the
Charms
menu (swipe left from the
right edge of the screen), then select:
Settings -> Change PC Settings ->
PC and devices -> Bluetooth
• Tap the XGPS10M when it appears in the list,
and Windows will pair with the GPS.
NOTE: the blue Bluetooth light on the GPS will
continue to flash, even after pairing is complete.
This is normal. The Bluetooth light will glow sol-
idly as soon as a GPS-enabled program starts
requesting GPS data.
• Once pairing is complete, it is a good idea
to note which COM port Windows assigned to
the XGPS10M because your GPS program will
probably ask you for this port number. To find
the COM port number, go back to the
Charms
menu and select:
