The setting up of the GPS interface to the PC is straightforward; visit the excellent
GPSINFO site for further information. If using a native serial cable, with a 9-pin female
plug, simply plug the NMEA cable of the GPS unit into the COM1 port of the PC. GPSANGLER uses the "$GPRMC" NMEA sentence,
which contains all the information we need. If using a USB device, follow the instructions on the USB/SERIAL driver CD. It
is likely in this case that a "virtual" serial port will be created, e.g. COM4 .
Most GPS receivers will transmit
according to this default convention:-
parity=n data=8 stop=1 xon=off baud=4800 dtr=on rts=on
GPSANGLER is fully configurable for all GPS devices.
