The deluo GPS

icehole · 09-14-2002

Hey!
I saw the other thread about it, but i have some questions I could not find the answer to there (I am not fluent in english, so it would be better if someone could just tell me the answer).
www.deluo.com

Should I get the USB or serial version?

Does it work good with the english version of Map Point?

Does it work good with NS?

Can someone give me reason NOT to buy this product (apart from it not being as "cool" as a Garmin)

I've got the USB version, run it with MP Europe & NS together (with my script TrackNS) and don't regret buying it at all.

Hey!
I live in Europe too.
Does MP Europe have maps of all the countries in Europe?
So I can plug it into a USB-port on a laptop and it will work?

There's another way to plug in a USB device?

How did u get my IP though? u admin?
Anyhow, if you drive by, you could surf my wireless network.

Does MP show every road and everything?
And all the maps I see of green and red (WEP) AP:s, which mapping software is that?

Depends on the country.

Does anybody know if the USB deluo will work under linux? I thought I read somewhere that this unit simply has a builtin usb to serial converter and that there were linux drivers floating about somewhere...

I've got a sony sr17, and it only has 1 usb port and 1 pcmcia port... (pcmcia port is used by orinoco card)

Linux driver is on the Prolific site but I haven't yet tested it on my SRX41.

Since I only use my GPS for the car I would have probably bought this over my etrex for compactness, but both fit the bill. And the cost was the same.

sPLURge · 09-22-2002

Just to follow up, I went ahead and ordered one of the deluo USB GPS units. After 3 days, it showed up USPS priority mail, and is now functioning perfectly with zero configuration/recompilation under redhat7.3...

I plugged it in, and it was immediately assigned to the usbserial device of /dev/ttyUSB0...

After checking it with minicom and starting gpsd on /dev/ttyUSB0, I'm happily running kismet/gpsdrive/xspeedometer simultaneously and without any dongles for power or serial connectivity.

If anybody is interested, I'll post some of the maps generated from kismet/gpsmap on my site after I collect a little bit more data.

I have one too, it works perfect in windows and Linux. I purchased it quite cheap from ebay ($60). I highly recommend. ( uses that prolific driver)
