From within your mapping, or navigation software (including the supplied GPS Information utility), you will

needtomanuallyconfiguretheselection

of theCOM porttowhatwas assigned tothe GPSreceiver so thatproper

communication between the GPS receiver and mapping program can occur. Most all software requires that you

manuallyconfiguretheCOMport setting for anyGPSdevice youuse.

5. INITIALIZING YOUR GPS RECEIVER

Before using your U

SB G

receiver

for navigation (especially for the first time), the receiver must

obtain alocal GPSfix

(coordinates) of the currentposition. To do this, take yourlaptop(withyourUSB

driver and the mapping software loaded and configured) to an open area that has a clear view to the

sky (such asa park or empty field). Startyoursoftware (or the includ

ed Mac_GPSutility program) and

wait for initialization of the GPS to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on various

factors such as the distance of the current coordinates from the last time the GPS receiver was

activated, GPS signal strength

and surrounding terrain (tall trees and buildings can block the satellite

signals). Once the RAW GPS data is displayed onto the screen, if applicable for your software, a fix

hasbeen initialized (red LED on the GPS will alsostart to flash). In some cas

esinitialization can take

upto several minutesdepending on the conditions mentionedabove before complete GPS datawillbe

displayed on the screen.

Coordinates scrolling with zero’s means that the port connection is cor

mplete

but the satellite data is

notbeingreceivedyet(possibly still initializing orina bad area forsatellite reception).

6. USING

YOUR

GPS RECEIVER

Once the

USB GPS receiver’s

driver and your personal mapping software have been installed and

configured properly, you can begin

to use

our navigationsystem by plugging the U

SB GPS

into your

laptop’s USB port and launching your mapping software. If you don’t have a mapping, or navigation

software

, we’ve included a GPS test utility c

alled

“GPS Utility

” so that you can test the fu

nction of your

SB GPS receiver

. Thisutility is locatedwithin the

Mac

directory on the CD

ROMor canbe download

7. FAQ’s

HowDoI Enablea RootAccount

The "root" user (also known as the super user) is the most powerful UNIX account. The root account

can do anything

to any file or folder, anywhere on the system. For that reason, Globalsat/USGlobalsat

cannot recommend, nor support users who attempt modifications of the ‘root user” as it's considered

quite dangerous,andonly needs to beused (occasionally)by advanced

users.

Becauseof thedangers of operating as root, Apple haschosen tohidethe root accountin OS X Final.

However, there are a number of ways to enable it. The easiest is to boot off the install CD, and look

under the Install menu for the "Password R

eset" option. You can use this to change your own

password if you forget it, and to enable the root account. This utility will

not

run if you copy it to your

hard drive! It onlyworks whenbooting from the CD.

You will be prompted for a new password to enable root access. Many find this easier thanrebooting,

ut sinceitinvolvesthecommandline,newcomersmayfindit a bitmoreintimidating.

The hardest way to enable root is to use the NetInfo Manager application (in Applications/Utilities).
