Frequently asked questions for Imray digital charts

Using IDC with a serial GPS question:

My laptop/PC only has USB ports can I use my serial GPS with IDC?

Answer:


Yes, but you will probably need to use a USB to Serial Adapter to connect the GPS via a USB port.

Some manufacturers of GPS units allow interfacing to their unit via USB set up as a Virtual COM port (the manufacturers drivers might have to be installed). The software also has provision to connect to a Garmin Unit via USB port.

For further information check your Interfacing Help pages, which can be found by clicking Start > Programs > Imray > Interfacing Help
