Installing GPS Gate

Under the drop-down menu, choose Bluetooth GPS, then click Open.

Now click on Find new GPS. Once it has done searching, click on Mainnav-GPS.

Select SPP and click OK

Now your screen should look something like this.
If it says that GPS data is coming in, that means the receiver is receiving satellite signals.
You may need to be near the window to receive stronger signals.

Now click on the Output tab. You should see this.

Now click on the drop-down menu, select Virtual COM Port / Garmin Emulator, and click Add.

You will have available a number of different COMs. Choose the highest one available for this step.

For this example, I will choose COM8. Then Click OK.

A random Unit ID will be displayed. Just click OK.

You should arrive at a screen like this.
Look at the Active output section and tap on Virtual COM8 / Garmin Emulator.
Make sure at the bottom of the screen it says Running OK! If it displays Running OK!, go to the next step.
If it does not, you will need to choose another COM. Click the Add button again.

At the bottom of the screen, next to the Bluetooth/WiFi icon, you will notice a GpsGate icon.

If the color is Red, it means bluetooth is not connected. Please check if the device is on.
If the color is Yellow, it means that not enough satellites signals are received. Please move closer to a window or go outside.
If the color is Green, it means that you have a satellite fix and are good to go!
