<ul></ul><p>Hard to reprocude without a 60Csx. To which drive is the virtual serial port of spanner mapped? Does this path appear in the combo box of the gps widget (GPS device port->path to serial device.<br />Maybe it is already enough to add this path to the autodetection list?</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223502010-06-16T03:22:28ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>I also have problems with a 60c while the gpstools work fine. I'll try do further tests.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223512010-10-04T01:23:18ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>It seems that usb devices are not supported by design(?) Nevertheless the usb devices work fine (out of the box) with the standard QGIS gps tools, under both Linux (at least Ubuntu) and Windows.</p>
<p>Can the code be reused to support USB devices in the "live gps tracking" tool?</p>
<p>A nmea device can be simulated with the "gpsfake" tool (together with "gpspipe"):</p>

<p>The trick works, tested with the Bob Bruce's GPS tracking plugin.</p>
<p>By the way, Bob Bruce's GPS tracking plugin works also under Linux, regardless it is announced to work just under Windows.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223522010-10-04T01:28:20ZJürgen Fischerjef@norbit.de

<p>right, sorry for that. Nevertheless usb Garmin units are supported in gps tools, so I hope it will not be too painful to add the support in the "live gps tracking" tool.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223542010-10-04T01:41:08ZWerner Machowerner.macho@gmail.com

<p>Hi Jurgen,</p>
<p>I would like to see if it works with my Garmin unit, but I'm not sure what has to be used in the new "device" field when choosing "connect to gpsd".</p>
<p>Please note that if in the above field is written a string that contains a ":" then clicking on "connect" causes qgis to crash</p>

<p>Unfortunatly my etrex legend hcx doesn't work with spanner, but it does with GPSgate. Which probably doesn't make a difference as far as QGIS is concerned.</p>

<p>GPSD doesn't support windows. But you could connect to a remote gpsd on windows. You enter the host, port and device (the latter can be left empty, if the gpsd only listens to one GPS) of the remote gps daemon. No colons required.

<p>so this should work out of the box on Linux? my 60c unit seems that is not connecting, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223612010-10-05T03:53:08ZJürgen Fischerjef@norbit.de

<p>No, you need to setup gpsd first - which works with my hcx. I suppose it does with the 60c, too. With gpsd you can have multiple clients...</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223622010-10-05T08:07:43ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>Ok, I see now the kind of possibilities that gpsd offers, but I still cannot make it work. I checked the gpsd docs and a few other tutorials so I'm sure I'm missing something (tested also with xgps). Can you give any insight? I'm sure this will be useful too for the future 1.6 documentation.</p>

<p><a class="external" href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022921">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022921</a> suggest that accessing the 60c should be as easy.</p>

<ul></ul><p>ok, got it finally. Thanks a lot for the hint.</p>
<p>Just one question: I cannot see any info about the position of the satellites and the intensity of the signal. Is this supposed to work or it will not work in any case with Garmins?</p>
<p>Well depends. See above. If the lack of info about signal and sat position is because of Garmin units then forget about it. If with gpsbabel this features will work then maybe will be worth the effort.</p> QGIS Application - Feature request #2786: Live GPS tracking: add support for garmin USB deviceshttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/2786?journal_id=223662010-10-05T11:18:34ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
