Connect to PC using a Serial port or a USB port
- These models have both interfaces
so can be either of the types above.
iQue M3 and M5
(and future Garmins based on the PocketPC platform) - These do not
use the standard Garmin upload/download protocols or output NMEA data so cannot be
interfaced to OziExplorer . OziExplorerCE (Pocket PC version) will run on these
devices.
iQue 3200 and 3600
(and future Garmins based on the Palm platform) - These do not
use the standard Garmin upload/download protocols or output NMEA data so cannot be
interfaced to OziExplorer.
GPS 10
(and future Bluetooth models) - Uses Bluetooth for communications with a PC,
does not have upload/download capability, outputs NMEA sentences. This can be
considered a GPS connected to a serial port outputting NMEA data for use for Moving
Map.
Which Port is My GPS Using
USB Port
- If you are using a Garmin USB GPS then it connects to a USB port.
Serial Port
- If you are using a GPS which connects to a Serial Port then there are other options.
If you are using a Compact Flash GPS then it will create a new Serial Port, if you are using a USB to
Serial Port adapter then it will create a new Serial Port, a Bluetooth GPS will use the Bluetooth
Serial Port.
The Com Port number of these Serial Ports is not always known or obvious. Here are a couple of
methods to determine
You can use the Devices section of the System Shortcut in the Windows Control Panel to see what
Com ports are available.
You can use our GpsPortChecker program to see if it can find your GPS.
The sections below provide the configuration settings for -

likely Com Port 1 or 2 and may be labeled on the PC.
