Hello, I've been using the standard GPS on my CF-19Mk6 for a while using this method ( https://www.bobjohnson.com/blog/how-to-use-the-gps-in-your-toughbook-for-turnbyturn-navigation/). Suddenly, it's not working anymore. The coordinates are stuck at about 10km from my home.
I checked the driver and GPS on its own, it can see satellites perfectly fine but it doesn't seem to lock on to any satellites? Is this a hardware issue or what's going on?
-
That approach uses GPScomplete - could there be a config issue there, maybe caused by a Windows update?
If the GPS device is not putting out correct NMEA data, perhaps the antenna or lead developed a problem, or the GPS module may be broken. Can you try another GPS, such as the Globalsat BU-353? -
I did a hard reset with battery and PSU out. It works for now.
-
I'm curious, is there any ways/aftermarket with bigger antenna to boost the GPS reception on CF-19?
-
Just use external USB GPS. USD 10-15.
CF-19 Mk6 GPS stuck at a specific coordinates?
