Does anyone even know what you are talking about, in the absence of links?

Yes, I do.

Can you guide me please to do it, since I don`t have a clue.

[Reply #4 on:]

Connect GPS
Run GPS Viewer.exe
Set Com Port and Baudrate and then Connect
Menu | Binary | Configure Position Update Rate
Select 10 then Accept

Thanks a lot for the information

One more thing, my gps is conected to mi arduino uno in pins 5 and 6 as tx an rx, to conect to the gps viewer I just have to conect mi arduino to my pc and then in the gps viewer select the serial port that my arduino is conected to right?

I just have to conect ... right?

If you're assuming your Arduino will act as a relay between the GPS and the host PC then you'd need to run a sketch on the Arduino to do that.

I think that the example given here --> http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SoftwareSerialExample <-- is along the lines of what he is trying to do.

It might be easier to just get a USB <--> Serial interface for his computer and use that with the gps viewer software to configure the GPS.

Code:

Just get to conect the gps to the gps viewer, now I put it in 10hz and it gets to 38400 of baudrate, now my problem is that I can`t get to work with arduino, does anyone have any clue for this?

it logs but only a few lines, then it jumps to another file.
