 | To use it with Microsoft Streets and Trips (all versions) or other GPS navigation software that accepts only 4800 baud rate, you will have to install the GPS Gate software to downgrade the baud rate from 19200 (most HAiCOM receivers) and 38400 (most Holux receivers) to 4800.
Here are the steps to do so:
- Install GPS Gate software. Free trial from http://franson.com/gpsgate/download.asp?platform=winxp
- Install USB Driver using the instruction here: http://www.buygpsnow.com/driver/pdf/Setup_Guide_for_USB_GPS_Receiver.pdf
- Insert the USB plug into your USB port with the Bluetooth GPS receiver connected, select Input tap in GPS Gate, use the COM Port in step 2 above (refer to the PDF guide for complete details), select either 19200 or 38400 as baud rate, and click on the "Open" button.
- Then click on the Output tab, select "Virtual COM port" in the "Add output - to where GPS Data is set section and click on "add". A new virtual COM Port number will be added in the Active output section. If a Virtual COM Port 2 is created, you may now proceed to configure your GPS application to use COM 2 (optional: if promprted for baud rate, select 4800).
