I want to connect a Holux GM-200 serial GPS unit to my M1000
The pin config for this device you is as follows:
Pin 1 is 5volts + supply
Pin 2 is TX
Pin 3 is RX
Pin 5 is Ground
Pin 9 is DGPS in
All other pins r not connected. I also need to now what settings I need to have the GPS receiver set to i.e. do I select SIRFstar II or NMEA settings I have a lead that I made and now am able to connect to the PC through the serial port. Using this I have now accessed the menu so that I can make relevant changes. i am using a programm called SiRFstar Demo 3.30a with this i can directly programm the GPS to give what ever info i want.
I will be using Tom tom navigator software and this has selection in drop down menu for GM-200 how ever I am not sure if the setting should be in
d*m’s’’ or d* m.m’ or d.d*
* is degrees – my keyboard doesn’t seem to have that symbol
I am connecting via serial cable COM port 1 I have disabled infa red so the port is free. My soldering is okay but i am not sure if my connections to the PDA are correct- is there a lead that can do this for me. or will i have no alternative but to recheck my connections on my home made lead.
Please help
