Qualcomm HS-USB NMEA 9002 (COM60) Driver

The Qualcomm HS-USB NMEA 9002 (COM60) driver enables Windows to recognize a Qualcomm-based USB serial interface used to carry NMEA positioning data from compatible hardware. Listed under Qualcomm Atheros in the USB category, this device may require a driver if it appears as unknown hardware in Device Manager or if navigation software cannot access its serial port.

Key Features

• USB serial communication: Allows compatible software to communicate with the device through a Windows COM port.
• NMEA data access: Supports the interface used to transmit positioning messages when the connected hardware and its firmware provide them.
• Windows compatibility: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the operating systems and processor architectures supported by the selected package.
• Device identification: Helps Windows identify the NMEA interface correctly. COM60 is the assigned port number on this system; another computer may assign a different number.

How to Install Qualcomm HS-USB NMEA 9002 (COM60) Driver

1. Check your system and hardware. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, open the device’s Properties and check its hardware IDs under the Details tab.
2. Choose a matching package. Before starting your Qualcomm HS-USB NMEA 9002 (COM60) driver download for Windows, verify that the package supports those hardware IDs and your operating system. Prefer a trusted manufacturer or device-vendor source when choosing a free download.
3. Extract and install the driver. Unpack the downloaded archive if necessary. Run the supplied installer, or open Device Manager, right-click the interface, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Reconnect and verify. Restart Windows if prompted, then reconnect the device. Check that the interface appears without a warning icon and note its assigned COM port.
5. Configure your application. Select the matching COM port in your navigation or diagnostic software. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed as supported, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed here.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection problems or improves stability. Check for the latest version approved for your specific hardware rather than assuming any newer Qualcomm package will work. Before an update, retain a working installer or create a restore point so you can recover if communication stops working.
