Hi Brent,
we solved this for one of our customers with the following steps:
* Installing U-Center on the windows computer:
https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center
* in U-Center -> View -> Configuration view → NMEA (NMEA Protocol)
* change "Main Talker ID" to "1 – GP(GPS)"
* click on "SEND" and then on "POLL"
* now QGIS should directly communicate
hope this helps
Stefan
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Gidday and Happy New Year from New Zealand!
I have spent too many hours on this already, sigh... Hopefully someone
can help.
I normally use QGIS with USB GPS units on Linux and don't have driver
issues, everything just works. But I now need to re-introduce myself
to QGIS on Windows to set things up for other users, and it is proving
very painful.
I'm using QGIS dev (3.29), 3.22 & v3.28 at present. Same issue on
Windows with all of them.
I have historically used a Globalsat BR-355S4 USB GPS on Windows with
no problems. Just install the Prolific USB-serial driver and
everything works fine.
My recent Linux work has been using a G-Mouse (U-blox 7) chipset GPS
which Linux typically mounts as /dev/ttyACM0 and QGIS is fine with
that. Linux needs no additional drivers to be installed for this to work.
Now I'm trying to get this working on Windows... I can install the
U-blox VCP (virtual com port) driver. The native driver Win10 finds &
installs also seems to work, but not with QGIS. I can connect to the
relevant com port with several GPS monitoring applications & see the
NMEA sentences fine. QGIS lists the port OK, but fails to connect on
auto or to the port directly. This is not uncommon with the U-Blox 7,
but none of the fixes I have found online have worked for me.
I just bought anotherGPS, a new model Globalsat one, BU-353N5, a
replacement for the BR-355S4. This is not sending the $GP sentences,
just the $GN ones. My GPS monitoring applications work OK with this on
Linux & Windows, but QGIS on both platforms lists the device to
connect to, but is unable to connect & use the GPS data. I can't even
log the data with QGIS as QGIS won't connect to the port in the first
place.
My 3 questions:
How can I get a U-Blox7 chipset GPS (which is working fine on Windows
with other applications) recognised by and working with QGIS?
How can I get a Globalsat BU-353N or other GPS that does not output
$GPGGA or $GPRWC, but provides $GNGGA instead, etc working with QGIS?
Can anyone suggest an alternative cheap, generic USB GPS which simply
and reliably works with QGIS on Windows?
Is this something that I should file a bug report for (it does seem to
be a fragility in QGIS that is not present in other GPS software)? I'm
happy to send a working USB GPS to any dev willing to look into this.
Thanks
