I'm just about to begin a coding project. My question is about the Garim X18, USB, GPS device. I plan to use Visual Basic (or VB.NET) and, simply, want to drop into a loop or timer, requesting a NMEA statement. I expect to be able to get this statement...read the LAT and LONG...and then I'm fine. I even have code to extract the data I need from the NMEA text. My questions are these...
1. Can I use the USB version or do I need a serial version...and therefore...a laptop with a serial port? I'd prefer USB but have never coded for this.
2. Is my example of HOW I plan to do this doable? Can I just keep requesting NMEA data from the X18 or is it more involved.
In short...all I need is a constant feed of LAT and LONG.
Thanks,
Mark |

Hi, you need the Franson GpsGate Software, this soft convert the Garmin data to NMEA using a virtual serial port. Every second the GARMIN GPS send Lat, Long, UTC, etc. in a text string format, it's very simple to use with VB6 or later.

| I've successfully programmed the Garmin Nuvi 1450 via USB with VB.NET. This unit only sends the PVT data in the Garmin protocol. I'm not familiar with the protocols avialable for the X18 but I'm sure it is similar to the nuvi. If you are still looking for tips let me know. |
