Windows device driver information for Garmin USB GPS
Garmin USB GPS drivers have been designed for use on GPS units which support transfer of data to and from the computer through a USB port. They use the GPSgate application which is produced by Franson technology. GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System and refers to a system of satellite navigation composed of 24 satellites which form a network that is then positioned within the orbit and used for several civilian as well as military applications. The work of the GPSgate application is to enable the user to go to create serial ports which are virtual and from where the GPS data can be received. Normally, one can have a single application only at a time when using the GPS device. When using the GPSgate application however, the computer imagines that there are many GPs devices connected, each to its own serial port.
