Hello

I bought the complet kit:

Now my question is if i can program the unit with the GPSCON.TXT file to display any date. This would be handy when driving arround for a couple of days.

these strings are allready present:

would be nice to have this one:

Is this a possibiltie?

btw i am a complete noob if it comes to electronics… But a great php programmer so if finished with my scripts i will post them here.

Thanks in advance

Hi B83S

You have to have the lassen Iq evaluation board to program the receiver and change the NMEA sentences. The Logger only suports 2 sentences so I had to program mine with $GPGGA and $GPRMC to have position date and time. You have to keep $GPGGA otherwise it will not log anything as this sentence is the default parser.

I had the same problem and that is the reply i got from Spark Fun suport.

Hope this helps
