1.3.3 Installing the USB Drivers for Microsoft Windows 

Drivers for the SXBlue II GPS are available for multiple operating systems: Microsoft Windows 
98, ME, 2000, 32-bit and 64-bit Server/XP/Vista/Windows 7. Other drivers are also available for 
Windows Mobile, Linux, and Mac OS. 

There are two versions of the USB drivers for Microsoft Windows: a 32-bit and a 64-bit. Make 
sure the correct version is used with your operating system.  

Once the driver is installed, the port number assigned to a specific USB port will be the same 
every time the SXBlue II GPS is connected to this port.  

The installation software can be found on the supplied CD-ROM or in the “Download” section of 
the 

http://www.sxbluegps.com

 web site. The software will install two subsets of the driver: The 

Serial Converter and the USB Serial Port emulation. 

In the “SXBlue II GPS – USB Driver Setup”, the default location for the driver installation will be 
“C:\Program Files\Geneq\SXBlueIIGPS USB Drivers”. Click on “Install”. The driver files will be 
uncompressed to the specified location and the Installer window will be displayed. Click on 
“Next” to proceed with the installation. 

 

 

 

Once the installation is completed, the 
window on the left will be displayed and the 
names of the two driver subsets will be 
displayed.
