Hi,
I would like to know whether all GPS receivers support third party
applications. Since the protocol supported by most of the receivers is
the same(NMEA) will an application developed to read lat/long data
from one GPS receiver work on other GPS receivers too?
One thing that seems to have been overlooked is that Garmin
units with a USB (only) output do NOT output NMEA -which is
a serial protocol...
Thus real-time tracking with a third-party map isn't
possible with a non-serial Garmin unit...
An exception is the Magellan eXplorist series which will
create a "soft" serial NMEA output on the USB cable... This
usually comes out as COM 4...
That said, most third-party programs like G7ToWin,
OziExplorer, GPS Utility, GARtrip, Fugawi, etc. can
recognize Garmin's USB for waypoint and track
down/uploading...
Thanks
