To perform GPS surveys using TamoGraph, you
need a GPS receiver. TamoGraph supports any GPS receiver as long as
it is NMEA-compliant. This includes almost all Bluetooth and USB
GPS receivers; such receivers communicate with the computer over a
virtual COM port (also referred to as a “serial port”).
Unlike GPS receivers, GPS
navigators (which typically have displays) are usually not
NMEA-compliant and therefore cannot be used with TamoGraph unless
special software is used. You can use Garmin devices; however, you
will have to use either Spanner, a freeware utility by Garmin, or
GPSGate Client, a commercial utility, to make your Garmin
navigator NMEA-compliant.
