So I want to try to use my Delorme lt-20 for the GPS, It is a usb gps module, I do not know alot about it. I googled a bit and found a few pages but most diagrams are dead links! Anyone have any ideas?
I want to save my self some money but if not I'll just order the gps chip from spark fun!
I'm using a ATmega328 just purchased and received about a week ago its really neat! :question ;D
Hi kryptek,
Maybe you first want to check out if there are other ways of connecting to that gps-module. As far as i know you can not connect to a usb module directly from an arduino.
Hope this helps (a little)

It is a usb gps module,
That means it requires a USB host to talk to it. The Arduino is not a USB host (or USB device for that matter) so you can't talk directly to it.
You could hack into it and try and get the signals before they enter the USB to serial bridge (assuming that is what is in the module). Or you could loop it through your PC, but I assume you want a stand alone solution.
Yeah stand alone, The site I seen he actually used the chip and signal wires etc. I use it for a VB app I made but wouldn't care if I tore the 10$ amazon thing apart. So I might just buy a GPS module for my project, how ever I'm lost in the world I understand the gps signal a lot. Google makes for a good re search friend.
Thanks for the replies maybe someone will say hey I know how, but until then I plan on buying a gps module from spark fun.
