4. TESTING YOUR GPS WITH YOUR LAPTOP AND THE PCMCIA
ADAPTOR
Users can use the Hyper Terminal program of Windows to verify that the GPS is actually configured
properly and working.
NOTE: Windows Hyper Terminal for Window 98 can not select COM ports above COM5, If your GPS
is assigned a COM port higher than 5, you will need to test it directly with your map software.
1. Run the “Hypertrm.exe” from “Program → Accessories →Communications → Hyper Terminal”.
2. Select the proper COM port for your GPS device.
3. Set COM port to :
Baud rate: 4800
Data bit: 8
Parity: None
Stop bit: 1
Flow control: None
Assuming that no mistakes have been made in the configuration process there should be data being
displayed in the window, which is confirmation that the communication between the GPS device and
the “Hyper Terminal” software is working properly.
