Field PC AMXU GPS Expansion Pod

Pre-Configured Settings

The GPS Pod Setup utility is installed on the Field PC at 

the factory and receiver settings are pre-configured. The 

Windows Mobile GPS Manager is configured to allow 

multiple applications to share access to the GPS receiver 

from one port (COM2). The pre-configured settings work 

for most situations, but can be adjusted as needed.
The GPS Pod is designed to output the most common 

NMEA-0183 data strings and can be used in conjunction 

with most GPS programs that support the NMEA-0183 

protocol.

Getting Started

Once your Field PC is ready to use and you have installed 

your GPS program (refer to the Field PC Owner’s Manual 

for instructions), you should be ready to start using the 

Field PC AMXU GPS Expansion Pod.

Note: If your Field PC has Wi-Fi, for maximum battery 

performance we recommend that you turn Wi-Fi off if it is not 

needed. 

Open your GPS program. Set the COM port setting in the 

program to COM2 and the baud rate to 38400 (refer to the 

program’s software manual for more information). The 

GPS receiver is located and powered on. 

You will receive a position fix within approximately 30 

seconds if you have a clear view of the sky.
