1 OVERVIEW
Congratulation on your purchase of Altina, which manufacture and provide various
GPS applications. Altina’s GGM308U GPS Receiver provides you various applications
such as car navigation, marine navigation, mapping, surveying, security, agriculture and so
on. It communicates with device (such as PocketPC or notebook) via compatible
dual-channel through RS-232 or TTL and saves satellite data by built–in backup memory.
Low power consumption technology enables GGM308U and your device to save more
operating power. Furthermore, GGM308U can track up to 12 satellites at a time,
re-acquire satellite signals in 100ms and update position data every second.
Trickle-Power allows the unit to operate a fraction of the time, and Push-to-Fix permits user
to have a quicker position fix even though the receiver stays off.

Installation
1. Copy entire 【GGM308 USB_Driver】folder from CD to hard disk.
2. Connect GGM308 USB connector to computer. While the computer automatically
starts the installation program, please direct the driver to the 【GGM308 USB】
folder.
3. After the installation is complete, go to 【Device Manager】and select【Ports (COM
& LPT)】to verify if a virtual COM port 【USB to Serial Port】was created.
※Notice: Verify the COM port # to start using your own navigating software.
1. Click <Start> menu, select <Settings>, then enter <Control Panel>.
2. After entering <Control Panel>, select <System>.
3. Select <Device Manager>
4. Find the <Connect port> and check the Virtual COM Port, which was created by the
USB driver,
7
Please note that the Virtual COM Port number might be different from every computer.
Before using navigating software, please confirm the COM Port number created by your
computer and provided by your navigation software. Otherwise, the navigating software
won’t receive the satellite signal, because of the un-match COM Port setting.

5.8. RTCM Received Data
The default communication parameters for DGPS Input are 4800 baud, 8 data bits, stop bit,
and no parity. Position accuracy of less than 5 meters can be achieved with the
GGM308U by using Differential GPS (DGPS) real-time pseudo-range correction data in
RTCM SC-104 format, with message types 1, 2 or 9. As using DGPS receiver with
different communication parameters, GGM308U may decode the data correctly to generate
accurate messages and save them in battery-back SRAM for later computing.
