Hi, is it possible to factory reset a Columbus V-800 Mark III? I've gotten the settings messed up somehow, and I'm struggling to read the Chinese text in GNSSToolKit.

The default factory settings for the V-800 Mark III are as follows:

Multi-GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou
NMEA sentences: $GNGGA, $GNGSA, $GPGSV, $BDGSV, $GLGSV, $GNRMC, $GNVTG.
Update rate: 1Hz (output once every second).
Baud rate: 38,400bps.

To reset the V-800 Mark III to these factory default settings, simply follow the instructions provided in this pdf.

Thank you. Any idea where I can find an English copy of GnssToolKit? The version linked to by the Columbus V-800 Mark III page and the version at https://cbgps.com/v800iii/download/GnssToolKit.rar are both completely in Chinese.

You could download the GnssToolKit below, which is by default in English:

Or, you could just start your current Chinese version of GnssToolKit. On the menu, click “English” as below.

Close and reopen GnssToolKit.

You will have an English version of GnssToolKit.
