PACKAGE CONTENTS ND-100 Main Unit USB Cable CD-ROM (User Guide, Driver, etc) Quick Start Guide Note: If any item is found to be damaged or missing, please contact your local retailer for assistance. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The ND-100 requires the minimum to run on a laptop: Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista CPU: 500 MHz, Pentium III System Memory (RAM): 128MB RAM Hard Disk: 50MB free space Display: 1024x768, "16-bit High Color" screen WELCOME Thank you for your purchase of the GlobalSat ND-100 USB Dongle GPS Receiver. The ND-100 is a compact and portable device, which allows you to carry a GPS receiver for use on your laptop whenever you travel. The ND-100 requires no battery or cables, only your favorite NMEA compliant navigation software is all that’s needed to turn a laptop into a powerful navigation system. Works with Windows, Mac and Linux O/S notebooks and laptops. If you need navigation software, you can check-out www.usglobalsat.com under the Navigation Software section for recommendations.

1. GETTING STARTED There are only a few simple steps that you need to follow before using your ND-100: • Install the USB driver onto your laptop using the included CD-ROM (the files can also be downloaded directly from www.usglobalsat.com). • Plug the GPS receiver into your laptop’s USB port. NOTE: From within your mapping or navigation software (including the supplied GPS Information utility), you will need to manually configure the COM port that was assigned to the ND-100 GPS receiver so that proper communication between the GPS receiver and a mapping program can occur. Most software requires that you manually configure the COM port setting for any GPS device being used. IMPORTANT: 1. You must change the default rate setting of your mapping software‘s Baud Rate to 38400, if this is not set then the GPS data cannot be received. 2. Set Baud Rate 38400, Data Bit: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None 2. INSTALLING THE USB DRIVER FOR WINDOWS LAPTOP 1. Place the product CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. 2. Auto-run should detect the CD and bring up the following screen below. 3. Click on the button titled “Install Driver” from the main screen as shown above. 4. Should “Auto-Run” be disabled on your PC, use Windows Explorer or File Manager to locate the file titled “PL2303_XP2KME98Driver_Setup.exe” and “PL2303_VistaDriver_Setup.exe” in the \WIN\USB Driver\ directory of the CD-ROM and click to launch the install process. 5. You should see these two files: If you are using Windows Vista, please double click on “PL-2303 Vista Driver Installer.exe” to begin installation. Follow the instructions to complete the installation process. If you are using Windows XP or 2000, double click on “PL-2303 Driver Installer.exe” to begin installation. Follow the instruction to complete the installation process. 6.

3. COM PORT VERIFICATION (Windows) 1. Once your USB Driver has been installed, you will need to confirm which COM Port your PC has assigned to it in order to properly configure any software that will be utilizing the GPS data being received. 2. Your USB GPS MUST be plugged into your USB port at this time. 3. Using Window’s Control Panel, select System > Hardware > Device Manager 4. Then look under the heading of: PORTS (Com & LPT) 5. There should be a listing for: Prolific Serial-to-USB Com Port (COM x) (where “x” is the number your PC has assigned the USB GPS receiver). 6. Once you have identified the COM port number, any software that you utilize must be configured to read GPS data from this COM port. We strongly suggest that you first test your USB GPS with the included MiniCDU utility program to confirm that the GPS receiver is functioning properly on your PC and that you have successfully configured the right COM Port setting. Once this has been done, close the MiniCDU program and start your application for COM port configuration. NOTE: By default, your PC will not allow you to run multiple applications from a single COM port. It is important that you close any previously opened GPS application before switching to another GPS application as the GPS receiver and data will not be found by the new program. There are special utilities available to split data into multiple COM ports for use by more than one application simultaneously. See: http://franson.com/gpsgate/

4. INITIALIZING YOUR GPS RECEIVER Before using your ND-100 receiver for navigation (especially for the first time), the receiver must obtain a local GPS fix (coordinates) of the current position. To do this, take your laptop (with your USB driver and the mapping software loaded and configurable) to an open area that has a clear view to the sky (such as a park or empty field). Start your software (or the included MiniCDU utility 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 has been initialized (blue LED on the GPS will also start to flash). In some cases initialization can take up to several minutes depending on the conditions mentioned above before complete GPS data will be displayed on the screen. Coordinates with scrolling zeros mean that the port connection is complete but the satellite data is not being received yet (possibly still initializing or in a bad area for satellite reception). 5. USING / TESTING YOUR GPS RECEIVER (Windows) Once the USB GPS receiver’s driver and your personal mapping software have been installed and configured properly, you can begin to use your navigation system by plugging the USB 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 called “MiniCDU” for the purpose of confirming your installation and configuration. This utility can be installed by clicking the MiniCDU.exe file from the Win directory on the CD-ROM or downloaded from our web-site www.usglobalsat.com. LED Status indicator on the ND-100 LED OFF: GPS receiver is off (no power). LED ON (solid): No fix, searching for GPS signals. LED FLASHING: Position fix established and GPS signals are being received. Always select an area in the vehicle where the GPS unit will be secure and not obstruct normal driving, visibility and safety, but still maintaining a “view to the sky” in order to receive satellite data. It is recommended that you first load and test your GPS receiver with the MiniCDU.exe. This process will confirm you have found correct COM port number and have configured it properly. 1. Run MiniCDU.exe to load the utility. 2. Enter the proper COM port for your GPS device (see COM Port Verification above) 3. Set COM port to Baud rate: 38400 4. If no errors have been made in configuration, there should be GPS data being displayed in the window, which is confirmation that the communication between the GPS device and the “MiniCDU” software is working properly. 5. If there is no GPS data displayed (or data with multiple zeros in them), please exit the software and unplug the GPS receiver from the USB port and reinsert it after 10 seconds to reset the device.

NOTE: Configuration (or selection) of an assigned COM port for the GPS device from within your mapping or charting software must be completed whenever using the software for the first time. 6. UNINSTALLING THE USB DRIVER (Windows) To uninstall the ND-100 driver, click the Windows START button >>PROGRAMS>>PL-2303 USB- Serial Driver and select UNINSTALLER from the menu. 7. FAQ’s I am not getting GPS data into my application. 1. Check your DEVICE MANAGER to confirm the COM Port number assigned to the GPS Receiver (it will be listed under the PORTS (COM & LPT) heading as Prolific Serial-to-USB Comm. Then be sure this is the same COM port number configured in your application. 2. Be sure your Baud rate is configured correctly at: Baud Rate: 38400 Data bit: 8 Parity: None Stop Bit: 1 Flow Control: None 3. Re-boot your computer and then insert the USB GPS into a USB port. 4. Configure the MiniCDU utility with the correct COM Port and test your GPS receiver first before using it in your application. Will the ND-100 work with Street Map, Marine Chart or Aviation software?
