RE: [Netstumbler] earthmate



Title: Message

If you are refering to the new Delorme Earthmate GPS (USB Device) You can load the USB to serial drivers to make it respond as a NEMA compliant GPS.  At least that what the instructions say.  I haven’t loaded them yet so I can’t swear to it but I did not see anything to keep netstumbler from working with the new GPS as a NEMA.  The Delorme instructions suggest selecting “I will be using Earthmate with DeLorme and/or non-DeLorme mapping programs and need to install USB-to-serial drivers.”  This options will make the GPS NEMA 0183 compatible.

 

Just as a side note – DeLorme’s fist GPS was also called Earthmate but was a serial interface.  It is still in use as far as I know because their mapping applications have provided for either Earthmate or Tripmate to date.  I think it may become confusing by calling the new USB model Earthmate also.

Does 0.3.30 support the delorme earthmate? I don't see it in the drop down.

Can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks.
