Connecting the GPS Receiver
Many features of nRoute will work even if the GPS is disconnected. However, in order for nRoute to
accurately perform some functions, the GPS must be connected and receiving signals from GPS satellites.
To connect the GPS receiver:
Connect the GPS into the appropriate port (serial or USB) on your computer.
•
If you are using a Garmin GPS with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology, make sure the Bluetooth software on
your PC is properly configured. nRoute will connect to your GPS device with Bluetooth wireless
technology via a COM port. See your Garmin GPS owner's manual and your Bluetooth software owner's
manual for more information.
•
If you have never used nRoute before, click Select Device , select the appropriate port (serial or USB),
and click OK . If you are using a serial GPS or a GPS with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can click
AutoDetect to have nRoute automatically detect the device.
•
If you have used nRoute before, but without a GPS connected, nRoute prompts you to select a receiver.
Select the appropriate device (serial or USB) and click
OK .
•
If you have previously connected the GPS to your computer using nRoute, nRoute begins to acquire
satellites and the message "Searching for Satellites" appears in the InfoBar.
•
If you are using a serial GPS, verify that it is plugged in to the vehicle's 12-volt receptacle and is receiving
power.
•
If there is a discrepancy between the GPS's clock and the clock on your computer, nRoute prompts you to
select the correct time. If you select
GPS , nRoute changes the clock on your computer to match the GPS's
time. NOTE : The GPS's time is not necessarily correct if you are connecting it for the first time or if it has
not been used for a while.
•
When you connect your GPS for the first time, or if you have traveled more than 600 miles with the
receiver turned off, the initialization process may take several minutes to determine your location.
•
To shorten the initialization time, click the Selection tool , right-click on your approximate location on
the Graphic Map, and select Set Current Location .
After a few moments, nRoute acquires satellites and the message "Ready to Navigate" appears in the InfoBar.
See Checking Satellite Status for more information.
NOTE : If you are using a serial GPS on a computer with a Windows operating system, you may experience
erratic mouse movements. This is because Windows may be identifying your GPS as a serial mouse. If this
happens, follow the steps below:
1. Unplug the serial GPS.
2. From the desktop, right-click the
My Computer
button and select "Properties."
3. Click the
Hardware
tab, then click
Device Manager
(in Windows 98, click the
Device Manager
tab).
4. Double-click "Mice and other pointing devices."
5. Right-click on "Serial ballpoint mouse" and select
Disable
.
6. Close the Device Manager.
