I open my netbook and added a 3RD antenna in the screen and replace the card with a Intel WiFi Link 5300 that does 802.11a/b/g/n or WiMAX.

Windows XP installed the driver auto. I then download and install Vistumbler. When I run it it don't show the MAC address or what type of wireless it is like ...

I set it up like that because this "Intel WiFi Link 5300 can get 802.11 a/b/g/n all at the same time. Wi-MAX too but not wile getting 802.11 a/b/g/n.

But I will work on putting this card in my netbook that's the link I did to show how. I am waiting for a antenna I got from ebay.

I was driving very ...

You asked what I used and they say a 1000 words are worth a photo. So must be even more with a little video.

I just put this video on you tube how I had it set up.

I said how I had to put the USB to RS-232 in another USB port else the mouse arrow would ...

I think I get put this Intel WiFi Link 5300 in my netbook. I order a ant. for it because this card takes 3. So I just used a 400 watt power inverter with a LCD screen on the floor of my car. A D510MO Mini-ITX motherboard that has a 2 core Atom+GPU on a Atom chip. It has a slot for the WiFi Link 5300 ...

I see can save it out as a .KML file that can open in Google Earth. It's saving it like that now. Taking a wile.

I had to take it out side and I set it all up in my car and the GPS worked!

I drove around some and saved the .VS1 file.

I think there is a way to see it all in Google Earth right? If so what type of file do I save it as so I can open it in Google Earth?

It was working very good this time ...

Looks like the NMEA did work.

I had to use a USB to RS-232 adator then it worked. I guess the ribbin cables I have are not wired right. Or the com port on the mother board are bad.

I can't get a good GPS signel thought my window in the house. But it looks like Vistumbler was talking with it ...

I did set it to NMEA and can't change the boud rate on it. It's set to 4800. I will have to see if it works with it.

I will see if it work tomorrow. Thanks for telling me.

In Setup, Interface I can pick this:

GARMIN
GRMN DGPS
NMEA
None
RTCM/NMEA
RTCM/TEXT
Text Out

That's it. I mostly had it on GARMIN. It works like that with a lot of things.

What one would work with Vistumbler?

Long time ago. I used Network Stumbler not the Vistumbler. It worked with this same GPS. Could pick Protocol Gamin Binary. But it don't work with my wireless card and Vistumbler does work with my Intel WiFi Link 5300 card. The is no Gamin at all to pick in Vistumbler Settings. Just Com Interface ...

I have it hooked up to com1 and did lots of settings and Vistumbler never sees it. In my Garmin GPS III Plus I can set it a lot of RS232's.

Has any one got there GPS III plus to work with Vistumbler? If so what are the setings on both ends?
