64 Magellan SporTrak GPS Receiver
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the NMEA message strings?
The SporTrak supports version 1.5 and 2.1 of the NMEA 0183
standard.
Additional information on NMEA can be found at on the
internet at www.nmea.org, where you can purchase the NMEA
Interface Standards. Another excellent source for NMEA
standards is a FAQ sheet that is published on the internet by
Peter Bennett at vancouver-webpages.com/peter/nmeafaq.txt.
My GPS is not communicating with my computer. What can I do?
Check your baud rate and check the baud rate that your software
is using. If they don’t match, change either the software’s or the
SporTrak’s baud rate (See Setup - Changing the Baud Rate.)
Can I interface my SporTrak with a Macintosh computer?
Magellan does not supply cabling or software for the Macintosh
line of computers. For information on a cable or software that
may meet your requirements, visit GPSy at www.gpsy.com on
the internet.
