GPS Ports Configuration
Using the
GPS Ports Configuration
utility, you can ask Mo-
bileMapper CX to output NMEA messages to another device
through the GPS auxiliary output port (COM1 or a virtual COM
port, or USB serial), or to the application running on Mo-
bileMapper CX, through the GPS VSP output port (VSP=Virtu-
al Serial Port). The VSP port is also known as “COM2” and is
always active. See also
MobileMapper CX Port Allocation on
.
Using this utility, you can therefore:
• Choose, enable or disable the GPS auxiliary output port.
• Change the settings of the GPS auxiliary output port.
• Read the settings of the GPS VSP output port (these set-
tings cannot be changed).
• Define the content of the unique output message sent to
both the GPS VSP output port (this port is always enabled)
and the GPS auxiliary output port (if enabled).

GPS Reset
Use the
Reset GPS
utility to cause the internal GPS receiver
to re-initialize. You may need to run this utility if for example
you want to force the GPS receiver to acquire new almanac
data from the GPS constellation and then use this data in the
position computation process.
-
Tap on
, then
Programs>GPS Utilities>GPS Reset
. A warn-
ing message appears explaining that you are about to run
a cold reset (see screen opposite).
When you use this utility, in fact you clear the GPS
receiver’s memory
.
That’s why the time to first fix will be
longer after a cold reset than after a normal reset. Normal
reset takes place every time you turn on the unit.

Tap on
Cold Reset
.

After a few seconds, the message “
Reset successful
” is dis-
played. Tap
OK
to close the GPS Reset utility.
