RtkGPS

RtkGPS allows device configuration, status reporting, and log downloading for some models of Royaltek GPS loggers; this software is primarily designed to support the RBT-2300, but has also been tested on the RGM-3800, which appears to share the same communication protocol. RtkGPS provides a command line interface (unlike some of the other software for this device, which is GUI based), but should work on any Linux platform, including portable devices such as the Nokia 770/800 series.

Similar Software

A number of other software projects support the RBT-2300/RGM-3800 family of GPS loggers:

• Manufacturer supplied software from Royaltek, supporting Windows and Palm platforms.
• rgm3800-client by Alexander Kurz, is designed for the RGM-3800 logger, with a USB connection, and works under Linux.
• rgm3800.py by Karsten Petersen, is written in Python, and is designed for the RGM-3800 logger.
• RBT_2300 by "Aeropic" is designed for the RBT-2300, and works on Microsoft platforms (including Pocket PC, not supported by the manufacturer software).
• Jdatalog by "Denti13" is written in Java, and apparently works under Linux.
• GPS Tool is designed for the RBT-2300, and works under MacOS X.

Warning

While this version of rtkgps has been tested on x86_64 and i686 platforms, it should not be assumed to be bug free, or even to function at all on other architectures. Thus far the only testing has been on a little-endian architecture, with the RBT-2300 and RGM-3800. Code has been included to support big-endian architectures, but this has not been tested. Bug reports would be appreciated, as would reports from users attempting to use this software on a big-endian architecture.
