BUG
In ArcPad, in the GPS Preferences dialog box, the Find GPS tool is used to detect the default COM port on a particular device on which the tool is run.
Therefore the ‘No GPS device detected’ message is thrown if either the device does not have a default COM port, such as in the case of using an external GPS device, or if a COM port is not detected on a device that has the GPS built in.
In the case of the Trimble Yuma 2 Rugged Tablet, although it is designed with a built-in GPS receiver, and therefore must have a default COM port, it is not detected with the Find GPS tool in ArcPad 10.x.
