Jack,
I would download the trial version of Oziexplorer and have a play around. The 310 is not in the Oziexplorer help file as a Compatible receiver, but it should work when you select "Other Magellans" from the configuration window. It may also work if you can select on the Magellan 310 to output a NMEA string (a generic
navigation data string that most
GPS receivers can output). Oziexplorer can read this string to plot your position, which mostly is all you use in Oziexplorer for when on the move. You may not be able to upload waypoints you have created in Oziexplorer to the Magellan... let us know how you go if you have a play around with it.
Cut and Paste from the Oziexplorer help:
Magellan Compatible units:
2000XL, 3000XL, 4000XL - early versions of these models do not have PC support so are not supported.
GPS Tracker
ColorTrak
315
320
Map 410
NAV 6000
Other models may not be supported fully
1. Go to the
GPS tab on the Configuration dialog
2. Using
GPS Make combo box select Magellan
3. Using the
GPS Model combo box select the model from the list. If your model is not on the list select the model as Other Magellans.
4. Using the
GPS Symbol Set combo box select the Symbol set to match the symbols in your
GPS. If unsure leave it as it is as the most likely symbol set has already been selected.
5. Adjust the
GPS Parameters to match the specification of your model of
GPS. These parameters may be mentioned in the manual. If unsure leave them as they are as the most likely set of parameters has already been selected. Magellan
GPS receivers do not have Events (one of the parameters), this can be set to 500 so they can be used as markers on the map.
6. Set the
GPS Upload/Download Datum to WGS 84 (always)
7. The
GPS NMEA Output Datum needs be checked, some models output in WGS84 and others such as the 315/320 output in the Datum the
GPS is set to. This can be checked by putting the
GPS into simulator mode, setting up moving map in OziExplorer, and by changing the
GPS datum see if the position readout on the status line changes, the
GPS NMEA datum setting in OziExplorer can be set to WGS 84 for this test. If the positions change as the
GPS datum is changed then the
GPS NMEA Datum setting in OziExplorer needs to be set to match the Datum setting of the
GPS.
8. Goto the Comms tab on the Configuration dialog.
9. Select the Comm Port Number to match the one you are using on the PC
10. Parity to none
11. Set the Upload/Download Baud rate to match the setting you have in your
GPS. Note : Do NOT use a Baud rate of greater than 9600 - see Special Instructions below.
12. The NMEA Baud rate must be set the same as the Upload/Download Baud Rate.
13. Do not alter the Advanced setting or AutoPilot unless required. Cheers,
Wazza
