Anadigi GPS-R02 DIY GPS Kit
I got this little "Anadigi GPS-R02 DIY" car gps kit from eBay seller anadigi-hk, and it was mailed direct from Hong Kong.
[Edit: Apparently, the eBay Store and user are no more. I found Anadigi's website through a web search, which shows contact information; however, they want a rather large minimum order.]
[Edit: It seems they have resurfaced at eBay seller chu28dennis's store, "Dennis List". Thanks, Dave]
It came with the GPS Circuit board and a little plastic case for it, an MMCX antenna with magnetic base, and a matching USB cable. The mini-CD came with drivers and a few test and diagnostic programs.
It works great; by the time my computer comes out of hibernation, it already has a signal lock. Talk about bang for the buck!
The receiver is based on the NemeriX NJ1030A [Datasheet - NemeriX], and includes WAAS/EGNOS support.

Hey man.. I was planning to
Hey man.. I was planning to buy anadigi-hk gps kit but he's not a seller anymore. Did you get his personal email ? I've been looking for that gps from ages and now that I was bout to get it, he went away.
Got any clues?
GPS Kit Seller
Weird, I wonder what happened to him. There is contact information on the Anadigi website, but I'm not positive that they were involved in the actual eBay auctions.
Keep me informed :)
linux?
will this device work with Linux?
GPS Linux Compatibility
Yes, it should, as long as your linux distribution has the proper driver module. It's a fairly standard Serial to USB converter driver. If memory serves, it has an FTDI chip. I don't have it with me, so I can't look.
Drivers
Lost the cd...any way i can download the drivers or someone email it to me. thanks
GPS Drivers
It uses a fairly common serial to usb driver, I forget exactly which. See what Windows says it detected, and look up a driver for it :)
great device
do this can work with PC, update datebase by myself?, or do it can work some gps tool, as easygps, connecting with other pc data source, thanks.
GPS Compatibility
I've tested it to work with DeLorme GPS software and with NetStumbler, so I don't see why it shouldn't work with any other program.
It gives its data over a serial to usb converter, so it shows up like a COM port.
I bought one car gps kit
I bought one car gps kit from eBay seller, but I need to connect in Serial Port in my laptop.
Do you know how to convert to connect to the serial port?.
Thanks,
Serial Output
There's a chip on the bottom of the little PCB, it handles the RS232->USB conversion. You'd have to find a datasheet for it, and find out which pins hold what RS232 signal.
Looks like a great device.
Looks like a great device. What are you planning on doing with it?
Plans
When I get my carputer put together, I'll be wiring this in as the GPS. For now... Wardriving :)
