Apparently you can't get to any drivers or software without a "login". I don't know if there are any opensource configuration utilities - but that doesn't help if you need a driver.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Dear Eric,<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your kind support. It's our responsibility to provide the<br>
good performance product with better quality to our customers. It's really<br>
the great reward for all of your help to promote Macx-1.<br>
<br>
For dead-reckoning and 1PPS issue, we will double check and come back to<br>
you.<br>
<br>
The data sheet of GR-601 is also attached. You are much appreciated to<br>
review and improve it.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
JY<br>

Working on it. But no result yet - I may have to go through several links<br>
in a chain of references.<br>

Have reviewed. You can quote any of that you like.<br>

Done. Find it on <<a href="http://catb.org/gpsd/hardware.html" target="_blank">http://catb.org/gpsd/hardware.html</a>><br>
<br>
Also note that once we confirm a U.S. retail partner for you guys I will<br>
promote the product on my blog and Google+. As I have over<br>
18,000 blog and G+ followers with a heavy concentration among programmers<br>
and engineers who are likely GPS customers, this is exposure many vendors<br>
would kill for. I have never plugged a product before; this will be your<br>
reward for a job very well done.<br>
<br>
The market you will be selling the Macx-1 into is much more interested in<br>
detailed technical information about the device than you are probably used<br>
to. The datasheet for this device should list the exact uBlox chip or<br>
module it uses, the NMEA version, and (most importantly!) a link to<br>
programming information about the GPS engine - uBlox's technical manual on<br>
programming the chip would do.<br>
<br>
One of our people already mentioned turning off the dead-reckoning feature<br>
so the device won't emit PPS after it has lost lock. One reason to link to<br>
the technical manual is so we can determine if this is really an issue; it<br>
might be the firmware stops emitting PPS in dead-reckoning mode, and that's<br>
exactly the sort of detail Macx-1 customers will be interested in.<br>
<br>
Another one of our people, Dave Taht, has inquired about customized cases.<br>
That gives me an interesting marketing idea. Look at the GPSD project logo<br>
at <<a href="http://catb.org/gpsd/gpsd-logo-small.png" target="_blank">http://catb.org/gpsd/gpsd-logo-small.png</a>>. That's a Linux penguin with<br>
GPS satellites orbiting it. You might want to think about doing a batch of<br>
these with the logo on the case - with a little promotion they'd probably<br>
sell like crazy to Linux fans.<br>
<br>
My offer to review and improve the English version of your technical<br>
documentation is still open.<br>
