<p><code>gpsd</code> should work with any GPS using an RS232C or USB
interface that advertises NMEA-0183 compliance. Here are some notes
on hardware we have tested. Hyperlinks lead to technical information.
The "Works with" column is the last <code>gpsd</code> version with
which this GPS is known to have been successfully tested; A "*" in
this column means we have a regression test load for the device that
is checked before each release. Vendors are listed in alphabetical
order. There is also a <a href="#timing">table of receivers</a> which
may be appropriate for timing use.</p>
<p>Please mail your success (or failure) reports to
<a
href="http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpsd-users">gpsd-users</a>
using the format described <a href="#report_format">further down this
page</a>. Don't forget to include an annotated log so we can include
your device in our regression tests.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> the baudrate-hunting code in <code>gpsd</code>
tickles serious firmwares bug on some Bluetooth and USB devices, notably
those shipped by Holux and including the GPSlim-236. These bugs may send
affected GPSes catatonic. See this <a
href="upstream-bugs.html#bluetooth">bug warning</a> for a description
of the problem.</p>

This receiver, or at least the firmware it ships with does not support PPS
timing output, nor does it support WAAS - something born out by the claimed
10m positioning accuracy. These will hopefully be fixed in future firmware
revisions. The increased sensitivity is nice, but the lack of WAAS and PPS
could be show-stoppers for various applications.

This receiver operates correctly as a generic NMEA device, UBX support
is also functional, though switching between NMEA and UBX does not yet
work, nor does any device configuration.

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 seems to require a read-only (-b) instance of
gpsd. Reported by Ian Darwin <ian@darwinsys.com>

<h2 id="report_format">Extending this table</h2>
<p>We want to extend this table. To report on a
GPS, please tell us the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>The GPS model name.</li>
<li>Whether or not it works.</li>
<li>If possible, an URL to a technical reference on it.</li>
<li>The GPS and (if applicable) USB-to-serial chip it uses. (Look at
the output of lsusb(1), it may identify the USB-to-serial chip. If it
gives a vendor and product ID, send us those numbers.)</li>
<li>The interface type (RS232, USB, CF, UART (= 5V TTL RS232))</li>
<li>The vendor</li>
<li>Version of gpsd you tested with</li>
<li>NMEA version it emits, or '?' if the documentation doesn't say</li>
<li>Notes on the device</li>
</ol>
<p>You should be able to determine many of these things by running
<code>gpsprof -f cycle</code> against the device and looking at the output.</p>
<p>Don't forget to enclose a <a
href='faq.html#logformat'>properly-annotated log</a> so we can include
your device in our regression tests.</p>
<h2>Notes on chipset support:</h2>
<p>For vendor protocol protocol manuals see our
<a href='references.html'>Programmer's References</a> page.</p>
<p>PL2303: support is broken in late 2.4 Linux kernels (it broke after
2.4.18) but good in 2.6.8 and later.</p>
<h2>RS232 levels:</h2>
<p>UART or TTL level RS232 uses 0v and +5v, ordinary RS232 uses -12v to -5v
and +5v to +12 volts for the signal (IIRC). These are not compatible,
and attempting to combine them can zorch your GPS. Converters do
exist, see Google.</p>
<h2>Untested hardware:</h2>
<p>Here is a list of the vendors we know of but don't yet have test
hardware from. An annoyingly large percentage of these outfits do not
advertise email contact addresses on their websites. If you have test
results for any of this hardware, please tell us. Most are straight
NMEA and will probably work fine.</p>

<td>Sapphire is tested.
There are two Onyx models: RFG-1000 and RFG-2000.
The first one uses some 8-channel chipset, while the second -
UNAV 12-channel (AFAIK without WAAS/EGNOS support),
made of UNAV uN8021C RF frontend and uN8031B baseband processor
(data sheets <a href='http://www.unav-micro.com/data_sheets.htm'>here</a>) and
designed by <a href='http://www.fastrax.fi'>Fastrax</a>.
Fastrax claims 1/4s message rate support like the ANTARIS from u-blox,
although it is not clear if the "consumer" firmware is capable of that.

<h2>PPS and GPSD:</h2>
<p>Many GPS receivers offer a 1PPS (one pulse per second) output that
GPSD is capable of passing along to <code>ntpd</code> for use as an
extremely accurate clock source. The "Claimed Accuracy" are taken
from manufacturers' data sheets, and have not been independently
verified.</p>
<p>Where specified, NTP time offsets have been measured by
comparison with the NTP time service and reported by
<code>gpsd</code>.</p>
