CF-53 MK4

New here, so be gentle. I am trying to get the GPS to work in my CF-53. It currently has a EM7355 and drivers installed using ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/computer/software/mc7355_driver_firmware_build4316_software.zip

Using Verizon as the carrier and I am able to reach the internet so I know that wireless WAN is working but can't get GPS working. Below is the configuration I used to install the drivers/software. Not sure what else to do.

[Default Values]
FWUPDATE=AUTO
SS=1
MBBDRIVER=1
CHECKFORDEVICE=0
LOCATIONDRIVER=1
GPS=1
WIN8LOCATION=1
SILENT=0
LOG=1
USBCOMP=0

 

1. Windows 7?
2. This will probably be Com7 9600 baud.
3. Do you have a USB/Serial driver installed?
4. Do a battery pull reset any time settings are changed and a new card installed.

Can I see your (picture of )Device manager with USB section expanded.

 

Windows 10 Enterprise x64. I don't think I have a USB/Serial driver installed.

Enabling GPS on Sierra AirCard Modems
Note: These instructions are not supported by Sierra Wireless. Using them is entirely at your own risk!

To enable the GPS, connect to the appropriate port with a terminal (such as Hyperterm on Windows, or minicom on Linux) and issue the following AT commands:
AT!ENTERCND="A710"
AT!CUSTOM="GPSENABLE",1

Once the modem is reconnected, you will have an additional serial device for accessing the GPS.
Note: On Linux this becomes device ttyUSB2, so you will need to connect to ttyUSB3 to send commands to the modem and ttyUSB4 for PPP connections if the GPS is enabled.

To test the GPS, you can use the following AT command:
AT!GPSFIX=1,30,10

This requests a non-assisted GPS fix with a 30 second timeout to within 10 metre accuracy. These options can be adjusted as required, AT!GPSFIX=? will give a list of valid values.

To read the position, use the command AT!GPSLOC?

Other GPS commands of interest:
AT!GPSSTATUS?
AT!GPSTRACK

 

I need to back up here as I am thinking more along the lines of W7 and Gobi.

1. Need full model number of your machine.

And some time to think about it.

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm posting this in the hope it will help, don't even think I have a clue. The assisted GPS caught my eye and I read about that,next.

 

Got it working! I uninstalled the Sierra drivers and rebooted. I then edited the configuration file from USBCOMP=0 to USBCOMP=8 and installed the Sierra drivers. Launched GPS viewer and Bam! Thanks for the help everyone!
