Gobi 2000 in this case. Gobi 1000 will NOT work despite the line re: NMEA in the device manager. EDIT: THIS IS WRONG. JULA HAS A MC7700. THIS WAS DONE USING MAIN AND AUX....SEE LATER POST RE: ADDING ANTENNAS TO GPS TERMINAL ON CARD.
FIRST TIME
1. Install wine from recent package manager. (If not already done)
2. Configure wine.
3. Install Winfast Navigator using Wine Windows Program Loader
4. In terminal#change directory to ~/.wine/dosdevices
5. In terminal#creates soft link from USB1 to com7 that resides in ~/.wine/dosdevices.
6. In terminal#Activates GPS on Gobi card for the session.
7. Run Winfast Navigator, select com7 9600
NEXT TIME after shut-down and re-boot.
1.In terminal#Activates GPS on Gobi card for the session.
2.Run Winfast Navigator, select com7 9600
NEWBIES etc. Open terminal and up arrow to line 1. [Enter] It will be there until you erase it.
Sample below, CF-53JULA21M LinuxMint 17.2 in the middle of the house under tin roof.
I have a script to launch this but decided to keep it simple.
Yes it's possible. Yes 9600 baud works. Yes it works better outside. And yes I prefer an embedded device or a USB GPS.
