Scott, Do you know if the TomTom Go920 is possible to access in the same way as the Garmin Nuvi you mentioned below?? It has a (what I call) mini usb to...
THe other thing that would be slick would be if you could access the text to speech voices.... and use the nuvi speech synthesis as an aprs output device....
Hello: Anyone who can help point me in the right direction to transmit telemetry data from a balloon? I want to send a position report every two minutes and...
There's the standard APRS telemetry format, and some hardware has support for it. (It's probably designed around something the KPC-3 does by default). There...
How cool is this? http://n1vg.net/images/nuvi-inbox.jpg I got the Nuvi into fleet management mode, and it adds menu items for messaging. Shown here is my D7A...
... D7 as well. Are there any handheld GPS'es that this might work on? Since you're talking "fleet management mode" these must be vehicle GPS'es and therefore...
None listed on Garmin's site. The Nuvi 350 isn't a bad form factor for carrying around, but it's more delicate than most handhelds. Also, I'm not sure it's...
Me Too! (Nuvi 250) Jeff KT2K OK Scott....how are you making all this magic happen? I have a NUVI 650 and would like to use some of thee features with my APRS ...
Was doing M.84 over the North Atlantic every week until last October, when I got my captains bid back after'corporate' downsizing due to 9-11 and economy. Now...
Ok, message origination is working - you can now send a message to a designated recipient rather than just replying. Also, if the message is prefixed with...
Scott: I think this is one of the more spectacular breakthru's in making APRS truly utilitarian and cost effective. This seems to be a great alternative to...
... I'm not sure it'd exactly be a slight modification, but it could be done. The main problem is that the Kenwoods (unless they've changed substantially with...
Certainly not in exactly the same way (it's a Garmin proprietary protocol) but that's not to say they don't have some interface for AVL or fleet management....
Alright, I'm considering which tracker to purchase. My equipment: VX-R7, Nuvi 600 series, Garmin X10 (do I wish someone would get bluetooth with a tracker and...
... Which model is the Nuvi specifically? The Garmin site lists a few models that are supported. I'll be very interested in hearing how it works with the...
I'm having trouble with the T2 mangling the weather data from an Ultimeter 800 weather station. The same station works flawlessly through a OT1x R3. It doesn't...
Hi Greg, I've had the same problem with an Ultimeter 2000. I noticed that it works correctly the first packet after power-up and gets very confused after a...
Hey, Scott - WAY COOL with the Nuvi. I've got 2 350s, one in my wife's car and one in my daughter's truck - now I'll have to either convince my wife to let me...
Go get the mini-B to serial pigtail cable (I think I posted the part number earlier), wire it up 2 - Yellow, 3 - White, 5 - Black on a female DB9, and plug it...
Hi Scott, I wonder if the T2 can be installed into a eeePC. Hmm ... http://beta.ivancover.com/wiki/index.php/Eee_PC_Internal_Upgrades I would leave out the GPS...
Why leave out the GPS? Put in one of the OEM modules like this one: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8234 and then you can have...
I tried (sort of), to update the firmware to the newest version and was unsuccessful, do I use the very first "connect to tracker" screen and select "erase...
Either way will work. That first option will erase your configuration, though. Did you get the firmware listing when you hit the 'web' button? Scott...
