Antenna Problem 

 

Please check the antenna and rear antenna connector for 
possible damage. 

 
 

 
 

Antenna Placement 

 
As stated previously, the world’s best GPS receiver can be rendered useless unless a correct 
antenna is chosen and the correct placement of the antenna is achieved. 
 

Note: 

The GPS antenna must be positioned such that it always has a full view of the sky, and 

no metal objects are blocking its view. 
 
Please see the connection diagram on the last page to see where to connect the GPS 
antenna. 
 
 

Resetting the GPS-1 to factory defaults 

 

Press the 

 and 

 keys when applying power to the unit to reset the unit to the factory 

default settings. 

Caution:

 All waypoint and route information will be lost. 

 
 

Firmware Upgrades 

 

Please check our website for the latest firmware. The GPS-1 firmware can be upgraded by 
running the GPS-1 upgrade program and connecting the GPS-1 to the PC via a serial cable. 
 
 

PC Connectivity 
 

The GPS-1 can be connected to a PC to allow the user to manage their waypoints and 
routes. There are various PC programs supplied on the accompanied CD to do this. It is 
recommended that the user evaluate these programs and select the one that best suites his 
requirements. The communication settings is set as 9600,8,N,1 
 

Please note:

 The GPS-1 is made to emulate a Magellan GPS Tracker. This allows the user 

to use a wider range of GPS application programs. Please be aware that the Magellan GPS
