Skywatcher gps mouse pc software

[60 NORTH]

Hi, I have a Skywatcher GPS mouse dongle but don't have the software for connecting the mouse directly to my PC? 

Does anyone out there have the software (or know where I can get a copy)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, mine came with a pc USB cable, you disconnect the connection that connects to the Synscan handset and plugs in the USB cable adapter thing?

 

found this on the net:

The GPS mouse fits all Sky-Watcher SynScan hand boxes from version 3.0. Installation is very straightforward: the cable is connected to the hand box and the box is ready for use.

You can use the module with these telescopes:

• telescopes with NEQ-3 Pro, NEQ-5 Pro, HEQ-5 Pro or Pro EQ-6 mounts
• telescopes with Sky-Watcher AZ GoTo mounts
• FlexTube GoTo Dobsonians

 

1.  
2. The advantages in a nutshell:

 

• GPS module for Sky-Watcher GoTo telescopes
• no need to input location and time
• increase in positioning accuracy
• cable kit available for connecting to PC

I think Louis is correct, all the docs just show a connection between the device & the handset (2 part cable - GPS device to connector, then Connector to RJ11, which plugs into the handset).

If there is a USB\PC connector available, I suspect it would be for updating the Synscan to ensure its at the latest version.

Ok, that makes more sense, Yes it will be for firmware updates, thanks for the info.
