As I state in the subject line, I need a Serial RS232 GPS with an antenna connector. Essentially, this GPS module will be housed in a weatherproof metal container, quite shielded from the outside world. The external antenna is a must. I need it to output serial RS232 at 4800 bps (9 Pin-D computer type) level NEMA-0183 data. I'm looking at the Venus GPS-11058. If I use the RS232 Shifter SMD No DB9 PRT-08780 would I be able to get it work as I wish?
I'm guessing wiring the RX of the shifter to the TX0 of the Venus, the TX of the Shifter to RX0 of the Venus, GND of each tied to - Power, tie VCC of the shifter to 3.3v of the Venus to + 3.3 volts, and then the other side of the shifter to the computer should do the trick.
Am I wrong? Is there another GPS module out there that will work better?
Thank you for your time in advance.
