# To inherit capabilities from a specified section, name the section in

# Certain escapes in capability strings are translated:

# A string beginning with 0x is interpreted as a sequence of paired hex bytes,
# leading 0x not included.
#
# Comment lines led with "#%" are vendor section marks to be used when
# generating an HTML table from this file. Each should consist of a vendor
# name.
#
# Further notes:
# * In the packaging feld, a "GPS mouse" is a standalone sensor in a
# display-less case designed be used as an outbard peripheral. An
# "OEM module" is an un-cased circuit board with edge connectors; a
# "chipset" is what it sounds like.
# A "handset" is a standalone GPS with a display and human-usable
# controls. A "handsfree" is a hands-free unit with display designed for
# mounting on a car windshield or boat dash.
# * In the rating field:
# "excellent" - gpsd recognizes the GPS rapidly and reliably,
# reports are complete and correct.
# "good" -- gpsd has minor problems or lag recognizing the device,
# but reports are complete and correct.
# "fair" -- Reports have minor dropouts or problems, including occasional
# transient nonsense values.
# "poor" -- Reports frequently have values that are wrong or nonsense.
# "broken" -- gpsd frequently fails to recognize the device at all.

notes = The bu* logs are in native binary format; the Haicom, Holux, Pharos,
and TripNav logs in NMEA. NMEA starts with GGA and ends with RMC. The
tn204 NMEA looks remarkably like older Garmin cruft and may be emulating

(like the GPSlim 1236, Motorola T805, RGM3800) do not.

rating = poor
logs = bu353s4.log
notes = Low power usage, but poor sensitivity and very long startup.
Resets to 4800N1 every time it is unplugged. Has a tendency to freeze
when switched from binary to NMEA mode (unplugging it fixes this).

description = Chinese variant of the SiRF GPS engine
engine = SiRF-TriG
nmea = 4.00
uses = SirfGeneric
#rating = poor
logs = beidou-bd.log, beidou-gb.log
notes = SiRF-IV variant produced for the Chinese market; it handles the
Beidou and GLONASS constellations as well as US GPS. The main
variant is described by the Chinese standard "Technical
Specification of Communication Protocol for BDS Compatible
Positioning Module" (TSCPB) and uses the talker ID BD. This
standard is not available in English translation. There is a
variant with closer NMEA 4.00 conformance that uses the talker
ID GB.

is the lower power needs. Looks like they made that happen at
the expense of sensitivity and timeliness of fixes." Also,
has the SiRF-IV tendency to freeze when switched from binary

[737A+ Bluetooth]
type = device
uses = MTK
date = 2011-11-10
interfaces = Bluetooth
location = Bend, Oregon 44N, 121W
model = 737A+ Bluetooth
nmea = 3.01
notes = USB ID: 0e8d:3329. Bluetooth (V1.2) and USB (V2) output. Linux sees
the USB as a cell phone (/dev/ttyACM0). Seems a tad less
sensitive than a SiRF III, but has 66 channels. Uses
replaceable Lithium Ion battery that charges from the mini-USB
connector. Small yet 32 hour runtime on a single charge.

tested = 2.35
nmea = 3.0
submitter = Reported by Ian Darwin
notes = This receiver operates as a generic NMEA device, the Sony
binary protocol is unsupported. The receiver seems to lock up if
too much data is thrown at it (ie. gpsd probes) thus it may
require a read-only (-b) instance of gpsd. (We say 'may' because
more recent instances of gpsd break the probe writes into pieces
interleaved with read, and may no longer trigger this problem)
