GPS
There are three tabs available here, one for setting up communication with a GPS device and one for
setting up replay of previously recorded journeys.
General
Device communication
Communication protocol
- Select the data output protocol of your device. In the vast majority of cases
this means NMEA
Port
- Select which port your device is attached to. Note that if you have a USB receiver, a COM is
still created by the USB driver. In windows go to
Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device
Manager/Ports (COM&LPT)
to find out which port your device is using.
Set the speed etc. at which your GPS unit communicates. Make sure that
Baud rate, Byte size, Parity
and
Stop bits
match the settings of your COM Port.
Timing
Select how often you want your position to be updated on the map. One second is the lowest time
interval (the highest update frequency).
GPS devices usually communicate Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). If you are in a different time zone
or in the UK when clocks have changed to British Summer Time (BST) then you can adjust the time
displayed and recorded with the
Time offset
spinner. As an indication, BST is set as 1 hour ahead of
GMT.
