Not all uses the GPS, and it’s best with a external GPS since you can get a better signal…

But where are you located? maybe someone can send you one og point you to a place to get one…

I´m trying with a Garmin GPS18X … (I suppose it´s the most popular USB GPS)

It´s that compatible ? or Where can I see compatibles USB Devices ?

Regards

it needs to be NMEA based. I don’t know if Garmin is some proprietary format. I wil ltry to find the model that I am using with good luck.

Garmin 18X USB is not NMEA :frowning:

And nothing is detected when I plug it on the USB port… that´s normal ??

Also AmbiCom Model GPS-USB works…

Not the MOST sensitive, but it works… would be fine with little “overhead” structure.. IE not in a lover floor of a multi floor building…

Remember to use 4800 baud for the AmbiCom usb port…
