GPSout to DeLorme mapping software

[Travel by GPS]

I am interested in tracking flight simulation on moving map software, especially DeLorme. Some folks have tired this with your module and have been having problems. I would rant and rave about your software if this is possible. Is it?

Kind Regards,

Doug

Sorry, I don't know. I have no deLorme Mapping software to try it with. Check the documentation that DeLorme supply. If it accepts input from a GPS in standard NMEA 0183 format, then it should work. You just need to find out what sentences it needs, and what serial speed to use.

Doug,

I just got in and gave it a try and it works.

I had an old laptop with DeLorme Street Atlas 7.0. I think that I used Garrmin NMEA mode. I used a null modem serial cable, you might see it called a Laplink serial cable.

I used the following gpsout.ini settings.

Sentences=RMA,RMC,GLL,GCA

Interval=200

Port=COM1

Speed=4800

Interval=200 might be fast, and you can probably remove RMA, RMC, GLL, or GCA. I just wanted to see if it would work and it did.

I also got it to work with Garmin Mapsource.

Hope this helps,

I got it going with your suggested settings.

Thanks John!
