    If the interface is truly USB then there is no way to connect this directly to a BASIC Stamp to read the data.· You would need to use a GPS unit with a serial interface instead.

    Into reality, it's a serial connector(db9) true a usb interface.

    In the specifications above you listed the interface as USB...If it's serial there are a lot of examples for reading GPS strings.· Check the Nuts & Volts columns on our website.

    Thanks for reply chris.
    I confirm its a serial whos use a usb "translator".
    Maybe you have a shortcut to see nut and volt propositions.

    Not sure what you mean.· We have some examples of GPS usage on our website.· For example, here's one:
