Can GPS be added

<< < (2/3) > >>

peastlake:
I'd be interested if the GLO can be directly connected to PilotAware. I'm having problems with using the GLO and my WiFi only iPad, once you start moving.

   Just testing the completed Pilotaware. (on the Ground) I was wondering if the PI could power the Gamin GLO GPS direct from one of the ports on the PI. After removing the battery from the Garmin, It was plugged into on of the USB ports om the PI.....

Yes it can power the garmin GLO with no problems at all. With blue tooth turned on within the Ipad all works well.

So this leads up to my Question.....?
Does the Garmin GLO produce NMEA sentence from the USB port?
Can it provide the GPS direct into the Pilotaware?

If it does provide GPS NMEA from the port it could be useful for connecting the PI direct to the transponder and providing the GPS into the PI and onto the Ipad or Android (All could work in one box)

   Ok I,v been doing a little looking around for info on the garmin glo. I'm sorry to report that the GLO usb socket is used for power only and no NMEA output.

Strange you are having problems with the Bluetooth connection Of your GLO. I have no problems at all. I,m using an early iPad with latest update installed. Could your GLO be falty? Can you lone one from a friend to test?

Have you tried this whilst on the move ?

Paul only sees issues when moving
I was wondering if the rate of data from the glo increases as you start to move, ie lots of position updates.

   Good point. I have not tried it on the move! I will next time I set it up and have a drive. Or may-be Sunday on the way to the rally.  I generally user the iPads built in gps chip.

Hi Richard

I noticed you posted under another topic with a screenshot.
In which case I presume you were using the internal gos and not the glo ?

Just wondering why you have the glo, was this for an older wifi ipad ?

Thx
Lee
