### Step 4: Install Additional Software (if necessary)

Depending upon the brand and model of your USB GPS receiver, additional software may be required to fully unlock its features or configure settings specific to certain applications. Check with the manufacturer's website or documentation provided with your device for more information on how to proceed.

### Troubleshooting Tips
