INSTALLATION

From download to patrol
in a few minutes.

PatrolPath is packaged for Windows x64 MDTs. The current published build includes what it needs and does not require Node.js on the MDT.

Get the current release

Download and extract

Download the current Windows x64 ZIP from PatrolPath.net. In File Explorer, choose Extract All and keep the contents together in one folder.

Early field-test builds may trigger Windows SmartScreen because the application is not yet distributed through the Microsoft Store. Only run a copy obtained from the official PatrolPath download page.

Turn on Windows Location

Open Settings → Privacy & security → Location. Turn on Location services and allow desktop applications to access location. PatrolPath uses Windows Location rather than an NMEA COM port.

Start PatrolPath

Open Patrol Path.exe. A new unlicensed installation connects once to register its five-day evaluation period. No agency key is required to begin evaluating the software.

Test GPS before the first patrol

Use Test GPS in PatrolPath near a window or outdoors. The test listens for up to 90 seconds so a GNSS receiver has time to obtain a position after a cold boot.

FIELD-TESTED CONFIGURATION

Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged

The current Windows build has been developed around Windows 11 Pro and Windows Location-compatible GNSS hardware, including the DW5930e Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 receiver used in the Latitude 5430 Rugged. Install current Dell firmware and GNSS/location drivers before field testing.
