Q.
My device has been successfully connected, but why can’t I see GPS signals in Navigator,
and why does GPS fail to position?
A.
This may be caused by errors in COM port settings. The automatic GPS scan function of
general electronic maps may lead to failure in GPS positioning. We suggest that you set the
options manually.
Q.
After using Navigator for positioning, why can’t I find the GPS antenna on the electronic
map?
A.
Navigator is an application developed by Leadtek to test GPS navigation. After launching
Navigator, if you press x or go to the map without disconnecting the program, it will occupy
the GPS antenna’s COM port. In that case, the map is unable to find the device. To solve
this problem, disconnect Navigator before exiting the program.
Q.
Why can’t I use GPS at home or near the window?
A.
GPS is for outdoor navigation only, so your device cannot receive GPS signals at home.
Especially because it usually takes longer to navigate when you use GPS for the first time,
make sure that you are in an outdoor place with good signal reception.
Q.
Why can’t I install Navigator to my PDA?
A.
Navigator can be installed to most PDAs, while errors may occur on a small number of
PDAs, causing installation failure. If this happens, copy the four Navigator.xxx.CAB to any
folder on your PDA, and then click them one by one from your PDA to install.
Q.
When do I need to run Cold Start?
A.
We suggest that you run Cold Start in the following situations: (1) it has been two weeks
since your previous navigation; (2) the location you want to position is more than 500 km
away from that of your previous navigation.
Q.
Could you tell me the specifications of your GPS product, such as size, chip version, initial
booting time and so on?

Q.
When I use Gmonitor for the first time and set as NMEA, the Signal Level View freezes or
does not display signal level.
A.
In the Gmonitor window, click Initialize Data Source. Select Hot Start in the Reset Mode and
then press OK. It should reset data view.
