Can I use the Sureshotgps™ with other applications ?

Yes, the serial USB port on Sureshotgps™ is normally used for communicating with Sureanalysis™ and our PC application used to upload / download courses to Sureshotgps™. Communication between Sureanalysis™ and Sureshotgps™ uses a proprietary serial protocol. NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) is a standard for communicating with GPS receivers that uses a simple ASCII serial communications protocol to defines how data is transmitted in a ‘sentence’ from one ‘talker’ to one or more ‘listeners’. The standard also defines the contents of each sentence (message) type so that all listeners can parse messages accurately. We have included NMEA capability for users who may wish to interface Sureshotgps™ to other PC applications using NMEA such as Fugawi. Sureshotgps™ can only use one protocol at a time on the serial port, so if you enable NMEA you will be unable to talk to Sureanalysis™ until you change the setting back. We recommend you don’t touch this setting unless you have a special need to use NMEA output.
