Earthmate GPS receiver
Q: Does anyone have any information on how to get an "Earthmate Hyperformance GPS receiver" by DeLorme to work with Netstumbler? I see different GPS receivers made by DeLorme but not the Earthmate. Thanks in advance!!
A: The Earthmate does not output NMEA sentences. You can get a translator dongle thingy from Byonics

I thought I read that Net Stumbler supports Delorme Earthmate but can't select it from the menu.

I also am having trouble with the earthmate gps not being recognized by netstumbler. I did search the forums and was unable to find an answer this perpetual problem.
thank you

Can that unit output gps data in the standard NMEA format?
If not, I don't think you are in luck.

You are correct the Earthmate Gps can not output data in the NMEA data format. The answer lies in buying another type of GPS or adding an Adapter that converts Rockwell Binary format of the Earthmate to the NMEA format. One such device is made by
www.byonics.com and is known as the GST-1 (GPS sentence translator) and sells for $45.00. I hope this completes this thread about the Earthmate.

I have a friend using winXP with an orinoco silver card and the DeLorme Earthmate Road Warrior v2.0. He has the serial to usb adapter and uses Street Atlas USA Deluxe and I have seen the thing work like a charm. I don't know why his would work and yours would not, but I would say you either have a different model or need to do some more research into the settings.

Do a search on the forum for Earthmate and Tripmate - there will be some links for yoou to get going - there is a software product that will get you going - if you do not find it I will post it...
do a search for this on google Eartha2NMEA

The Earthmate does work with netstumbler with
the GST-1 Byonics
I ordered one last week had it in 3 days.
The guys at byonics are great.. They answer email and
everything :> )
The GST-1 works great and will also work with Street Atlas
you just choose Generic GPS.
So you loose nothing and gain being able to use it
with Netstumbler and other programs.

Thanks for all of the good suggestions. I was hoping since Netstumbler had the Earthmate as an option it mught be supported directly. I think I will give the EARTH2NMEA software a try.

As I had said in another post after this one, I found out that the friend of mine was not successful anymore. Apparently it was working and then suddenly for no apparent reason it stopped.
Please post your results of success with Eartha2NMEA software here or send me a PM. - Rayne
