I have an Outback S-Lite tractor GPS with a serial port with NMEA.
Is there ready-to-use software to read out in lat/long
from this port? Maybe I can talk to it with hyperterminal
and make it just keep sending lat/long once per second or
something. Is there a command set?
I'd like to use this for laying out antennas, etc. (ie surveying).
Most NMEA capable recievers just outputs NMEA messages for every second
(solution). It's trivial to parse. I have some simple C code that does
it which makes trivial re-parsing. If you know how to read NMEA
messages, it's essentially in clear-text anyway.
Starting with a Hyperterminal (or similar) is a recommended.
Default rate for NMEA is 4800 baud, 8 bit, no parity and 1 stop bit if I
recall things correctly. No handshaking.
Your GPS receiver may have one of many command variants. The milage may
vary on that aspect.
Cheers,
Magnus
