The symptom:
The P-1 GPS will not charge or turn on. The charging light does not turn on when plugged in to a usb charger. It also will not turn on when the power button is pressed.
The solution:
The firmware update is to resolve “GPS Week Number Rollover” Issue. This issue only affects models sold during years between 2010-2015 (which are using the MTK3329 chipset). The current models sold after 2015 (which are using the MTK3339 chipset) don’t affected by this issue. No update is needed.
Download firmware update for V-900 and V-990;
Download firmware update for V-800+.
The below instruction for Columbus V-800 & V-800+ GPS, not for V-990 & V-900.
(The standard usb cable from V-900 & V990 package is a charging cable. To use V-900 or V-990 as the usb GPS, you need a standard mini-usb to usb cable.)
The miniGPS software comes with V-800 can only change the 5Hz setting temporary. To keep 5Hz setting permanently, please download the “tools for v-800” & update the firmware.
Attention: please use the below to replace the section 3 in “Tool Guide”.
====================
3. Setting the indicator LED:
“Com A”—-Select”NMEA”&”11520″
“Com B”—-Select”OTHER”&”LED”
—-Click ”Select”
—-Click ”Execute” to save
====================
By design, the usb port of V-900 / V-990 is NOT for transferring log data. (The usb port is used for charging. The driver is for usb GPS receiver function.)
Users should transfer log data via the come with memory card reader.
]]>If the memory card does not meet the following 2 requirements, you will hear continuous short beep from the GPS.
Requirements:
1. Memory Size <= 4GB
2. Memory must be formatted into FAT (FAT16) partition. FAT32 or other partitions do NOT work. The picture below shows the stpes to format a 4GB memory card by Windows 7.
BTW, don’t use Mac to format the memory card. It does not support FAT(FAT16).
