Binary protocol Garmin & GlabalSat receiver/navigator based on SirfStar-II and SirfStar-III chipsets.
The program for work with receivers and navigators Garmin and GlobalSat constructed on chipsets SirfStar-II and SirfStar-III.
The program works under the binary report, writes down a binary stream from the receiver, creates parsing-file (human-presentation of received messages), RINEX-obs file, WGS-84 geocentric coordinates-file.
You may write points as geodetic surveying with Taheometer.
Work now in progress - it is pre-release version.
Supported OS/Devices:
Desktop Win-32,
Windows Mobile 2003 SE (HP iPaq 4700 FS-LOOX for example),
Windows Mobile 5 and 6 (HP iPaq 114/214 for example),
Windows Mobile 5 on HTC P3300 smart-phone.
Work with following devices is checked up:
Garmin GPS-25/35 (SirfStar-II) mouse receiver,
Garmin GPS-72/eTrex (SirfStar-II) navigator,
Garmin GPSMap-60 (SirfStar-II) navigator,
Garmin GPSMap-60cx (SirfStar-III) navigator,
GlobalSat BT-308 (SirfStar-II) receiver,
GlobalSat BT-338 (SirfStar-III) receiver,
Mitac MIO P550 (SirfStar-III) PPC-navigator,
Mitac MIO C520 (SirfStar-III) GPS-navigator.
Supported device-device interfaces:
RC-232 (pure COM-port),
RS-232 to USB cable (Prolific for example),
BlueTooth.
Work and with other receivers is possible, but it should be checked.
Scopes and the problems solved by this program will be found by users if the destiny of the program is successful. Anyway the program will be useful to students at studying of satellite navigation.
Besides, that the program writes down a binary stream of the receiver and decodes it in RINEX-OBS a file, she creates 3 more files which maintenance can be processed without use of expensive programs of post-processing. Here open space for creativity under concrete needs.
