I’m using wireless locator U1, waterlinked runs via Ethernet into laptop, how do I get the gps to display on qgc? Only instructions I can see are via the integration kit, which I don’t think I need with locator u1.

Any ideas please?

Hi @triton

The ROV still needs to be able to talk to waterlinked to fetch the current GPS position. You can bridge both networks in Windows and set this bridged network to the IP 192.168.2.1. That should allow the ROV to reach the waterlinked gps system via your topside computer.

Go to the “Network Adapters” , select both adapters, right click, and click “Bridge networks”.  
This will create a new virtual bridged network adapter were you can set the IP address.

You can find some more detailed instructions [here](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-and-manage-network-bridge-connection-windows-10).
