Hi all hope someone out there can give me the following information,
I need the setup info for a Navman pin 570 what the baude rate and what the default COM port . At present it is set to COM8 and 9600.
On this setting the UTC is counting the minutes but nothing else is hapening.

I can only confirm I use the same settings on my 570 and it is working fine.

I have com8, 9600 baud rate, so that should work I would guess.

Now, could it be that you have no GPS signal ? if you have a heated or Athermic windscreen, it would blochk the signal. In that case you would need to use an external antenna.

hope that this helps.

Hi thanks for those replies, I will let my brother in law know. Next question which external aerial would you use on this Navman?

I found the GPS signal was not too strong in my car, so I bought an external antenna for ~20£. I think the one I got was a Haicom MMCX External Antenna, - using this and just placing the antenna on the windscreen was actually sufficient, but if you have got the heated or athermic windscreen you may need to mount it outside (its magnetic and is a bit like the old radio or phone ariels you could sit on the roof.).

As far as I can see you just need to make sure the antenna has an MMCX connector. Navman had an offical one but when I looked at that it was 40£ and out of stock.

hope that this helps.
