Hi! Navspark has one board with Glonass (http://navspark.mybigcommerce.com/navspark-gl-arduino-compatible-development-board-with-gps-glonass/) and one board with Beidou (http://navspark.mybigcommerce.com/navspark-bd-arduino-compatible-development-board-with-gps-beidou/). Both use a Venus 8

Here is a link to a company that at least shares details of the SkyTraq venus 8 chip on the LTE-Lite. The actual skytraq sites is pretty useless. https://www.tindie.com/products/smokingresistor/venus838flpx-gps-breakout-board/ There is a program that will read the nema codes and such also. Have

Now that the cat is out of the bag - notice that on these boards we used the special -T timing version which is more than twice as expensive than the normal navigation version used by others.. I personally use the uBlox software because the Skytrack software had a habit of crashing itself

Thanks for the link. The Navspark also uses a Venus GPS, but I don't know if it the same one. I can't look it up at the moment. Joe Gray W5JG On Nov 25, 2014 3:02 PM, paul swed paulsw...@gmail.com wrote: Here is a link to a company that at least shares details of the SkyTraq venus 8 chip on

Hi I think it’s more a supply and demand thing right now. There are a lot of systems (CDMA for example) that run on GPS time. There do not seem to be quite as many people putting out spec’s for the other systems (yet). Bob On Nov 25, 2014, at 5:29 PM, Poul-Henning Kamp p...@phk.freebsd.dk
