USB-connected GPS devices, a.k.a GPS Mouse, are supported by NavimetriX for Mac and PC compatible computers. It provides position to the system's location service.
Prerequisites
A driver matching the connected device must be installed in the operating system beforehand. These are usually Prolific or FTDI drivers, depending on the type of device connected.
Implementation
Open Settings by tapping on the gear icon, then select GPS & NMEA.
Select:
- GPS Source = Internal
- NMEA Protocol = SERIAL
- Serial Port = scroll down the menu and select the appropriate port (normally the default port is displayed).
- Baud rate = 4800 Bps by default.
Data stream should scroll in the lower window.
Tip: if the serial port does not work, open the drop-down menu and check if another port is available. If no port is available, the driver is probably not the right one.
