    This document provides instructions for connecting a GPS unit to a computer to synchronize time and location for use in an astronomy program called EQMOD. It discusses setting up a Synscan GPS unit to output data in NEMA format through a serial port to the computer. The steps include installing drivers, configuring the Synscan software to set the baud rate, output format, and send data to the assigned com port. It emphasizes that while not essential, using GPS can help eliminate errors by ensuring all programs reference the same location and time. Reference documentation for GPS units and configuring the Synscan GPS are also provided.
