My navigation software does not support baud rate 115,200. How can I make it work via USB interface with Qstarz GPS? |
| A2 |
When Qstarz GPS is connected via USB interface, the baud rate is fixed and should be set to 115200. If your software does not support this baud rate, please connect the device via Bluetooth interface whose baud rate is changeable. |

| Q3 |
My Q1300S took long time to get GPS fixed. Why? |
| A3 |
BT-Q1300S is the first super slim (0.7cm) GPS Sports recorder in the world. Due to this unique feature, we are forced to apply one special micro GPS antenna which might need a bit longer time more when you do GPS fix. |

| Q4 |
My Q1300S crashed. How can I make it back to normal status? |
| A4 |
Please leave it until it drains out of battery and then Q1300S will be back to normal status. |
| |
| Q5 |
When I use PC_Suite SW to read log from device, it appears "No Data in Device." Why? |
| A5 |
Q1300S will not log invalid GPS data (GPS with no fix). So please make sure to log valid GPS data under open sky environment. If the logger still cannot be logged, please perform a reset in PC_Suite SW -> Config GPS. |

| Q15 |
How can I geotag my photos? |
| A15 |
The GPS real time is based on UTC/GMT+0 time. What you have to do is to change UTC/GMT to your local time zone by selecting Display time zone in software.
And set the correct local time with your camera. When you import the pictures from your camera, the photo time will be synchronized automatically with the local time. |
| |
| Q16 |
How can I set the time on the GPS unit? |
| A16 |
Sorry, you could not set the GPS time, all Qstarz GPS products is using the universal UTC/GMT time.

This means no matter where you use the device, the GPS time will be the same (UTC/GMT time) and the GPS device time could not be changed or modified. |
