2-12 Operating Your Tablet Computer
Using the Virtual-GPS Application
Your tablet computer has a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver
module built in and includes the Virtual-GPS software (Start All
Programs Virtual-GPS Launch Virtual-GPS).
Virtual-GPS shows the GPS signal availability status of the system’s GPS
module, allowing you to check if the GPS feature is working properly.
Virtual-GPS also allows you to create virtual COM ports which can
connect to two or more GPS applications at the same time.
Virtual-GPS is a unified user interface utility that allows you to manage
and configure the following:
GPS information
Settings
Data view
The first time Virtual-GPS is launched it automatically scans all COM
ports. If a COM port is found, the system will open the port and GPS data
will be entered, all information will appear on the ―GPS Info.‖ tab and
will be continuously updated. The default GPS COM port is COM2 (at
9600 baud).
