What are the steps needed to stop the internal GPS and start the External GPS through the 9 pin serial port on each of the Nomad and Yuma units?

I took the GPS antenna and hooked it up to our personal Yuma and it picked up the signal in Farm Works Mobile just fine so I knew the antenna Baud rate and Comm Port were correct I was trying to use for the customers Yuma.

I kept thinking there was a setting or something I needed to turn off so the GPS's were not competing

The last thing I tried worked. I decided to leave the 9 pin GPS & cable plugged into the RS232 port and power off the computer all the way, then start it up from scratch.
The Mobile program recognized the External GPS on Comm1. The Yuma now allows me to switch back and forth between comm1 for external GPS usage, and Comm2 to use the built in GPS.

Thank you for all your help

Within Mobile and to the File GPS settings. Select the Com Tab. Change the comport to Com 1. Click OK. Now this will allow the GPS from the External to be used.]]> KathyCline Field - HardwareWed, 21 Dec 2011 15:34:52 -0500 http://www.farmworks.com/uk/forum/read.php?5,66039,66039#msg-66039 http://www.farmworks.com/uk/forum/read.php?5,66039,66039#msg-66039
