After a few minutes if Nuno Navigator is still searching for your GPS follow the steps detailed below:

  • Check you have switched your GPS on.
  • Check that your GPS is configured to output NMEA 0183.
  • Check that your GPS is configured with the following
    • 8 data bits
    • No parity
    • One of these baud rates:
4800
9600
14,400
19,200
38,400
56,000
57,600
115,200
128,000
256,000
  • Check that the wiring between your GPS and your computer is secure.
  • Check that any additional interface box (such as an optical isolator or data concentrator) is switched on and has power connected (if its power is not derived from a computer USB connection).
  • Install any software drivers that came with your GPS.
  • Check that no other running applications are using the port that the GPS is connected to.
  • Check that your GPS is configured to output positions using the WGS84 horizontal datum. This may be referred to as "Hor Datum" or "Map datum" in the GPS configuration.
