rkaplan Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I have GPSOUT working fine with a Garmin 295 using a USB to serial port converter. I just upgraded to a Garmin 296 though and I cannot get the GPS to receive data from GPSOut. The USB drivers for the GPS are loaded and my Device Manager recognizes the GPS... but what port is a USB port, i.e. what port do I configure in the GPSOUT configuration file? I turned on ports 1 and 2 in the Garmin 296 setup and matched this in the GPSOUT configuration but it does not work. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank.O Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hi, I have no experience with GPS's so this is just a shot in the dark but may be this thread is of some use for you. Regards, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkaplan Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 That is close but it applies to a Windows CE USB port... that is the basic idea though... what would the entry be in the GPSOUT configuration file to point it to a USB port? The only alternate seems to be using a standard serial port on the 296 and a USB to serial converter on my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
