I've seen several posts which show how to use the pin out directly i.e. without the MS USB2Serial converter. I have two questions for the knowledgeable: 1. I'd like to keep the GPS connector untouched, so that I can occasionally use the USB2Serial to connect to a computer. What type of connector plugs into the GPS? I'd like to build a cable with a connector that I can simply plug into the gps rather than soldering. 2. The UTC Date / Time and Local Time Zone Offset information is critical for my application. Does the GPS500 output the NEMA $GPZDA string? Many Thanks for your help Indiana Cary, NC [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
