Verizon Jetpack® MiFi® 8800L - GPS over Wi-Fi

Here's how to change GPS over Wi-Fi settings for your MiFi 8800L.
  • The GPS over Wi-Fi setting allows the MiFi device to provide a GPS (NMEA) stream to a Windows or Mac computer.
    • This is only useful if running an app that is capable of utilizing a NMEA GPS stream (e.g., Microsoft Streets & Trips, etc.).
  • To utilize GPS over Wi-Fi, a driver must be installed on the computer.
  2. From the menu, click
    Jetpack Settings
    .
  3. Click
    GPS
     (upper-right).
  4. If necessary, click the
    GPS switch
     to turn on.
    If prompted, read the disclaimer info then tap
    Confirm
     to continue.
  5. If desired, click the
    Turn GPS off when the Jetpack restarts switch
     to turn on or off.
  6. Click the
    Turn on GPS over Wi-Fi switch
     to turn on or off.
    If needed click
    Download GPS over Wi-Fi Drivers
     and follow step-by-step instructions to install drivers on the connected Windows device.
  7. If applicable, enter the port number.
    Typically the port number should not be changed.
  8. Once location is acquired, you can view the following:
    • Latitude
    • Longitude
    • Altitude
    • Accuracy
    • Map or Satelite view of location
If GPS over Wi-Fi (NMEA) is enabled, launch the GPS-enabled app on the Windows computer then configure it to utilize a NMEA port or GPS receiver.
Refer to the app's help menu or contact the app developer for assistance.
Once the app has found the NMEA port / GPS receiver, it shows 'Searching/Waiting for your location' until a GPS fix is obtained then displays the current GPS location.
