My computer is not recognizing my GPS receiver after I installed the enclosed drivers. What do I 

need to perform to verify my receiver is functional?

 

 

Under rare circumstances there will be driver recognition or even communication conflicts 

presented after driver installation steps are fully completed as described by the user's manual. Effects 
such as this can be immediately addressed, a step-by-step troubleshooting instructional guide is 
provided below to assist and perhaps solved your current problem.

 

GPS Driver Verification 

In the initial stage, you need to identify if the appropriate drivers are loaded. Two good sources to 
determine that your device's driver is properly installed are in System Profiler and System 
Preferences in the Operating System. A full description of instructions of how to access this handy 
information is provided below. 

First, shut your computer down, connect GPS receiver to your USB port and boot your Macintosh 
computer.  

Second, access the System Profiler utility. Select the blue apple icon on the top left hand side of the 
Apple menu. Then, select the following “About This Mac”->”More Info…”-> Hardware->USB to display 
device’s detection. Under USB Device Tree, you will view “USB Device” this pertains to your GPS 
USB receiver. Driver information can be found under USB Device window. Vendor Name, Speed, 
Product ID, and Bus (mA) will be provided.  

If no information is provided, this is an indication that no drivers are currently installed for this device 
to operate properly. For complete installation instructions use the Mac Install .pdf .

Finally, under System Preferences, select Network, Show, and Network Port Configurations. Your 
device will appear as an “usbserial” device in the Port Configurations box. This completes and 
confirms that your GPS USB drivers are fully installed and operational. 

 

 

In the next stage, a GPS test application will be downloaded and used to view the receiver's activity 
or can be compare with your current loaded mapping application. This GPS Info program utility will 
provide you with viewable GPS data information needed for full receiver functionality validation.
