Important note for Windows 8.1 users:
Windows 8.1 has a bug which prevents it from
properly communicating with many Bluetooth
devices, including the XGPS10M. However, there
is a workaround. Details can be found at:
http://gps.dualav.com/faq/xgps150-150a-150e/
See the question entitled “Does the XGPS150
work with Surface Tablets or Windows 8?” for
instructions.
NOTE: these instructions were written using OS X
Yosemite (v10.10) and may be different if you are
using a different version of OS X.
• Make sure the mode switch on the XGPS10M
is in the
