1. Overview
(Fig.1)
The DA-80200 Wireless GPS Receiver (Fig. 1) is a total solution GPS receiver with
Bluetooth, UART interface and built-in rechargeable battery for high sensitivity to
tracking signal. DA-80200 design is based on SiRF Star III low power Architecture.
DA-80200 is a dual-function GPS receiver. Not only transmit satellite information
through the PDA or Notebook with Bluetooth interfaces but also is a G-Mouse GPS
receiver through a data cable to deliver satellite signal to the device without Bluetooth
interface.
This positioning application meets strict needs such as car navigation, mapping,
surveying, security, agriculture and so on. Only clear view of sky and certain power
supply are necessary to the unit. DA-80200 contacts to other device through Bluetooth
device, compatible interface or USB, and built-in recharge battery to save satellite
information such as the status of satellite signal, the last location, date and time of last
use.
With low power consumption, the DA-80200 tracks up to 20 satellites at a time,
re-acquires satellite signals in 100 ms and updates position data every second.
Trickle-Power allows the unit operates a fraction of the time and Push-to-Fix permits
user to have a quick position fix even though the receiver usually stays off.

6. Driver Installation
You can use any DA-80200 accessories data cable without installing driver
except USB cable. The following is the steps of installation USB cable.
6.1 System Requirement
CPU: IBM, Pentium, or other compatible PC.
Memory: above 16 MB
System: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP
6.2 Installation
I. Copy entire DA-80200 USB folder from CD to hard disk.
II. Connect USB connector to computer without DA-80200 GPS receiver. While the
computer automatically starts the installation program, please direct the driver
to the DA-80200 USB folder.
6.3 Important
Verify the COM port to start using your own navigation software.
I. Click <Start> menu, select →<Setting>, then enter→<Controller>
II. After entering <Controller>, and select <System>.
III. Select <Device Manager>.
IV. Find the < Connector(COM & LPT)>and check the Virtual COM Port, which
was created by the USB driver.
Please note that the virtual COM port number might be different from every
computer. Before using navigation software, please confirm the COM Port numbers
created by your computer and provided by your navigation software. Otherwise, the
navigating software won’t receive the satellite signal, because of the un-match
COM Port setting.
