3. USB Driver
3.1 Installation
Connect XC-GD75 USB connector to computer. While the computer automatically
starts the installation program, please direct the driver to the <
Driver\windows\XC-GD75 Driver >.
3.2 Important
Verify the COM port # to start using your own navigating software.
1. Click <Start> menu, select <Settings>, then enter <Control Panel>.
2. After entering <Control Panel>, select <System>.
3. Select <Device Manager>.
4. Find the <Connect port> and check the Virtual COM Port, which was created by
the USB driver, Please note that the Virtual COM Port number might be different Searching for satellite Fixed GPS position
from every computer. Before using navigating software, please confirm the COM
Port numbers created by your computer and provided by your navigation software.
Otherwise, the navigating software won’t receive the satellite signal, because of the
un-match COM Port setting.
