At the time of writing this document GPS software Versions
2.12
and
2.13
are available for
download and installing into your GPS from these sites.
Version 2.13 is available from
www.silva.se
but you need the Global Map Planner software to install
it.
Version 2.12 is available from
www.brunton.com
and comes with its own installer software.
It appears to be possible to use the installer software from Brunton to install the file available from
Silva (we tried it and it worked ok).
OziExplorer Configuration Setting
1.
Go to the GPS tab on the Configuration dialog
2. Using GPS Make combo box select
Brunton / Silva
3.
In the GPS Model combo box there is only one mode which can be selected (the Multi
-
Navigator).
4.
In the GPS Symbol Set combo box leave it set to
Garmin Symbols
. The Brunton / Silva does
not use symbols for waypoints.
5.
Adjust the GPS Parameters to match the specification of your model of GPS. These
parameters may be mentioned in the manual. If unsure leave them as they are as the most
likely set of parameters has already been selected. Brunton / Silva GPS receivers do not have
Events (one of the parameters), this can be set to 500 so they can be used as markers on the
map.
6.
Set the GPS Upload/Download Datum to WGS 84 regardless of the datum setting in the GPS.
7.
Set the GPS NMEA Output Datum to WGS 84 regardless of the datum setting in the GPS.
8.
Goto the
Comms tab
on the Configuration dialog.
9. Select the Comm Port Number to match the one you are using on the PC
10.
Set Parity to none
11. Set Stop bits to 1.
12. Set the Upload/Download Baud rate to 4800 or 19200.
Note
:
Only baud rates of 4800 or
19200 can be used. It is best to use
19200
for faster upload/download speeds but we have
found that 19200 is not always as reliable when the GPS is busy with other tasks (finding
satellites for instance
-
see special notes below).
13.
The NMEA Baud rate must be set to 4800.
14.
Do not alter the AutoPilot settings unless required.
Special Notes
To make
Upload to the GPS more reliable and faster
it is suggested that the GPS Receiver engine
of the GPS be turned
OFF
before uploading to the GPS.
To turn the GPS engine off
-
Press the
DOWN
arrow (middle bottom button) until you are on the
POSITION
screen press the
YES
button (lower left), this will present a screen with
TURN OFF
GPS
on it, press the
YES
button, the GPS receiver engine is now turned OFF.
Track Download
When set to log track points in a TIME mode the GPS will log points even when it does not have a
position fix. OziExplorer will "reject" these points during the download process. Therefore the
number of points kept in the downloaded track may not be the same number that is downloaded.
