No GPS fix / Windows 8.1 Dell Tablet
Hello, I installed mapfactor to my laptop with Windows 10. Funny thing here is that it has no satellites in wiev, but it sure can get fix.

By the way, Sensor Diagnostics Tool reported 26 satellites in view and 21 of them being in use, but navigator only said 14, which is the maximum I've seen. Any ideas why would that be?

There is no difference between w10 and w8 in this matter, so if you could please try to help based to your w8 experiances. If I'd install the GPS Reverse driver that creates a virtual COM port and translates communication into NMEA format I wo…

Hello, thank you for your reply. I've checked the sensor via Sensor Diagnostics Tool and it I can get satellites in view, but even though there are 16-20 satellites, it won't get any data. I would guess it is Dell/Sierra Wireless/Qualcomm…
