Qualcomm Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9215 (COM4) Driver

The Qualcomm Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9215 (COM4) driver helps Windows recognize the NMEA serial interface on a compatible Qualcomm Gobi 2000 mobile broadband module. Listed under Qualcomm Atheros in the USB category, this interface carries GPS-related NMEA data for location-aware applications. You may need this driver after reinstalling Windows, when the interface appears as an unknown device, or when navigation software cannot access the module’s location data.

Key Features

• Enables recognition of the module’s USB-connected NMEA interface as a serial COM port.
• Allows compatible GPS and mapping applications to read NMEA location data when the module’s GPS function is enabled and a position fix is available.
• Helps resolve missing-driver errors affecting this interface in Windows Device Manager.
• Provides the interface driver as part of a compatible Gobi driver package; mobile broadband and other module functions may require additional components.

How to Install Qualcomm Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9215 (COM4) Driver

1. Check your system details. Confirm your Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Listed operating systems are Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, but each package may support only a subset. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed by this listing.
2. Verify the device. Open Device Manager and check the device’s hardware IDs under Properties > Details. Match them to the package documentation, and confirm compatibility with your computer manufacturer’s Gobi 2000 implementation.
3. Choose the correct package. Before starting a Qualcomm Gobi 2000 HS-USB NMEA 9215 (COM4) driver download for Windows, verify the source and compatibility notes. If offered as a free download, it should not require a paid driver-updater subscription.
4. Install the driver. Extract the package if necessary and run its installer. Alternatively, right-click the device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Restart and test. Restart if prompted, then confirm that the NMEA interface appears without a warning icon. Select its assigned COM port in your GPS application; Windows may assign a number other than COM4.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses an issue you encounter. The latest version is useful only if it supports your hardware and operating system, so check release notes before an update and retain a working installer for recovery.
