How to Connect a GPS Unit to a Computer Monitor
- 1). Locate the USB port on your computer. The port is indicated with symbol resembling a three-pronged fork. On a laptop, the USB port is often located on the side of the keyboard. If you are using a desktop, the USB port will be behind the monitor or the tower.
- 2). Connect your GPS unit to the USB cord included in your unit packaging. Examine the connecting cable and plug the small, round end of the cable into your GPS.
- 3). Insert the opposite end of the connecting cable, which is flat and rectangular, into the USB port.
- 4). Wait for the announcement on the bottom-right corner of your computer screen. A small box will pop-up reading "Device Detected." This confirms the successful connection between your GPS unit and computer monitor.
