Specifications

This GPS make is selected if your GPS is not one of the directly supported types.
When this GPS make is selected a menu called
GPS - NMEA Only
appears in the menus. This
menu has 2 options for uploading and downloading waypoints which may work with many makes of
GPS, these options are detailed here GPS - NMEA Only menu
Even if you own a GPS which is not supported by OziExplorer for upload/download of waypoints
etc it can still be used for moving map operation if it outputs the correct NMEA sentence(s).
The required sentence(s) are :
$GPRMC or
$GPGGA and $GPVTG or
$GPGLL and $GPVTG
However there is no guarantee that the software will work with other receivers.
NOTE
- other talker Id's are also allowed e.g. $LCGGA (Loran - C receiver).
If you do not know the Baud rate of the GPS you are using try 4800 as this is the standard for NMEA
output.
Tripmate GPS
Provision has been made to support the Tripmate GPS by outputting the code needed to start this
GPS outputting NMEA.
You must create a file called
tripmate.dat
in the folder where OziExplorer is installed (it doesn't
matter what is in the file), OziExplorer will check for the existence of this file and if found will
indicate a Tripmate GPS is being used. Select the
GPS Make
in OziExplorer GPS configuration as
NMEA Only
.
There is a delay of 5 seconds when moving map mode is started while OziExplorer waits for the
Tripmate to startup.
Earthmate GPS
For OziExplorer to work with the Earthmate USB GPS for moving map, serial emulation drivers are
required.
Check the support section of the Delorme website for the latest drivers.
