accept the GPS.
•
Plug-in the GPS receiver into your laptop.
2. INSTALLING THE USB DRIVER INTO YOUR LAPTOP
Click on the TN200.EXE file to have the driver files and User’s Guide automatically unzipped and
copied from the CD-ROM to a local directory on your PC (C:\TRIPNAV2).
I addition to the driver and user manual, a GPS test program called NMEAgent will be copied to
C:\TRIPNAV2\GPS_TEST, so that you can verify GPS signals if you don’t already have your map or
navigation software loaded.
TripNav uses the FTDI FT232BM serial-to-USB controller and assumes that you are installing the
drivers on to a clean system for the first time, i. e. one on which FTDI drivers has not yet been installed
previously. If this is not the case then refer to Section 4 for guidance on uninstalling FTDI drivers before
proceeding with installation.
Plug in your TN-2000 GPS receiver. This should bring up a "Building Driver Information Database"
window followed by the “Add New Hardware Wizard.”
