Embed an OEM GPS Into Anything

Step 6Modifying GPS Settings

Modifying GPS Settings
Assuming that you were able to successfully test the unit using Minicom or Hyperterminal, you should be able to send commands to it as well. It you look in the product manual, there is a section called "GPS 15H and 15L Software Interface". This section describes all of the sentences that you can send back to the GPS unit in order to configure it. It is really simple. All you have to do is type out one of the program sentences.

For example, in Hyperterminal you could type something like:
$PGRMO,GPRMC,0

would disable the GPRMC sentence.

You can also write all of the commands you want executed in a text file, then have hyperterminal "type" that file to the GPS unit for you.
