GPS USB Serial Interface Driver (COM11) Driver

The GPS USB Serial Interface Driver (COM11) driver enables Windows to communicate with a compatible Locosys GPS receiver through a USB-based serial connection. It is intended for users who need their GPS device recognized by navigation, mapping, or other software that reads positioning data from a COM port.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Allows compatible GPS applications to access the connected Locosys receiver through a virtual serial port.
• COM-port identification: Helps Windows expose the device as a serial interface. Although this device is labeled COM11, the assigned port number may differ between computers.
• Legacy Windows support: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the compatibility requirements of the individual driver package.
• Application connectivity: Provides the communication interface needed to pass receiver data to compatible software; GPS functionality still depends on the receiver, signal conditions, and application settings.

How to Install GPS USB Serial Interface Driver (COM11) Driver

1. Check your device and Windows version. Confirm the Locosys receiver model and whether your Windows installation is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed here.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting your GPS USB Serial Interface Driver (COM11) driver download for Windows, review the package’s supported hardware and operating systems. Select the latest version compatible with your device—not simply the newest available release. Verify the source and compatibility details of any free download.
3. Prepare the files. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, and follow any included instructions about when to connect the receiver. Keep the device connected directly to a reliable USB port when required.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer, or open Device Manager, locate the GPS device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Restart Windows if prompted.
5. Confirm the connection. In Device Manager, check Ports (COM & LPT) for the receiver’s assigned COM number. Select that port in your GPS application and use the communication settings specified by the receiver documentation.

Keep the driver updated when Locosys provides a compatible update that addresses your needs. If the receiver already works reliably, review release notes before making changes, and retain a working driver package in case you need to restore the previous installation.
