+azspecter Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Oh man- does this mean a program such as Earth Tracker will not work properly? http://www.dgadv.com/et/ It says it uses NMEA 0183 (whatever that is) Can you let me know? The entire reason I bought these units was to use them in Google Earth. Dang... If this will NOT work in that program, how long do you think it will take (I realize that's a huge question, but, are we talking a few days, or, 6 months?) Thanks for all the info..

robertlipe Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Azspecter, I've never heard of it. If you have a program looking for NMEA 0183, that's not going to work with even the C series USB connectors; the odds of it working with serial are dramatically better and about the same for either C series or X series. But your question is better directed to that vendor. PDOPs, do you really think I have Google by the tail? :-) Quote Link to comment
+azspecter Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yes, I believe it's looking for NMEA. I'm under the impression that this works great with the Serial connection, and, with a serial-USB adapter it should work fine as well. I'll check with the vendor either way. I just didn't know if what you were posting about originally interfered with the NMEA output or not. Is NMEA different than GPSBabel? Forgive my ignorance here... Quote Link to comment
arthurking83 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Has anyone confirmed that the 'x' models work with Oziexplorer? Quote Link to comment

You need a serial Cable: http://shop.garmin.com/accessory.jsp?sku=010%2D10141%2D00 Then goto MAIN MENU, then select SETUP Then select Interface. Then for SERIAL DATA FORMAT, select NMEA IN/NMEA Out GPSbabel is a program, and NMEA stands for National Marine Electronics Assoc. NMEA is an Interface standard used with boating, like with chart plotters, and depth sounders. - Geoff Edited January 21, 2006 by GOT GPS? Quote Link to comment
