           GlobalSat DG100 GPS logger / utils for linux
____________________________________________________________________________


Prerequisities
______________

Linux kernel 2.6 with usb-serial and pl2303 (Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver) support
as module or fest comiliert


Installation
____________

$ ./configure

$ make 

# make install


Using it
________

1. Plug your DG100 device into one USB port

2. look what dmesg say:

> $ dmesg
> usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
> usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
> usbcore: registered new driver usbserial
> drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic
> usbcore: registered new driver usbserial_generic
> drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core
> drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for pl2303
> pl2303 3-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
> usb 3-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
> usbcore: registered new driver pl2303
> drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver

If you see somthing like this, that's good. Here, the DG100 was attached to
the /dev/ttyUSB0 device. If yours is attached to another device (can
be if you plugged more than one DG100 or any other devices that use a serial to
usb adapter as usb touchscreen controler...) use the --device /dev/ttyX parameter
when invoking dg100.

3. Read the saved tracks

$ dg100 list-tracks

you should see the list of saved tracks, something like that:

> $ dg100 list-tracks
> [0] 2007-09-02 14:57:35 (UTC)
> [1] 2007-09-02 15:13:36 (UTC)
> [2] 2007-09-02 15:21:52 (UTC)

note the number in the bracets: that's the track index

4. export a track into a .gps file

For example let's say that we want to export the first track

> $ dg100 export-track 0
> exporting track 0 to track-2007-09-02 14:57:35.gpx

That's all for now


enjoy the DG100 under Linux and vive OpenStreetMap !
