handset basics
Electronics Association 0183 V3.0 (NMEA-
0183) standard. As such it supports the
following sentences: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV,
RMC, and VTG.
This handset is not a full NMEA-0183
compliant device supporting electrical RS-422/
RS-232 connectivity as dictated by the NMEA-
0183 standard. Consequently it's unsuitable
for conventional marine NMEA-0183
equipment use. Its intended use is for normal
“terrestrial” mobile users who want to enable
their USB hosting computing devices such as
a PC, laptop or PDA with the handset's highly-
capable GPS functionality.
get connected
1
Remove the protective cover from
the handset's side connector and insert a
cable into the handset's side connector.
2
Insert the other end of the cable into a
vacant USB receptacle of your host
device. A virtual USB Comm Port will be
created on your host device upon
successful enumeration of the handset as
a USB Communications Device Class
device.
3
Ensure no application in your host device
is using the created COMM port. You may
need to ensure that the created virtual
COMM port settings are set as follows:
• Bits per second
: 4 800
•Data bits
: 8
• Parity
: None
• Stop bits
: 1
•Flow control
: None
4
Start the GPS application on your host
device. Set the GPS application to start
accepting NMEA-0183 formatted data
from the created Virtual COMM port.
