Does the DFRobot TEL0138 GPS Receiver work on Windows 10, feeding a stream onto a COM port?
I have had trouble with a similar device, where the drivers were withdrawn in 2012. Only usable on Windows XP.
Thanks for your help.
I'm please to tell everyone that the TEL0138 GPS Receiver works on Windows 10.
On my laptop it was found as COM3
Microsoft Autoroute 2013 now know where I am.

Derek.Johnstone Hi Derek,
that is exactly what I needed to know and couldn't find an answer anywhere. I need a GPS that I can access via serial coms. I thought I might have to buy one on spec just to find out until I found your post. I signed up here just so I could say thank you.

This wiki page shows that you need to install google earth in windows to use it.

lia.ifat Hi
That's not what I want to do.
I have old Microsoft Autoroute 2013 on my laptop, that takes a serial feed from a COM port.
I use that because I can import a file of 40 OS Map references, and Autoroute plots a route to visit all references.
I have a Fortunea U2 GPS receiver, that used to work OK when it was on XP, but there were never any Windows drivers for it on Win 7 onwards.
So what do you think?
Regards Derek
Just wanted to add a clarification here.
You do not NEED to install google earth in order to use it.
It is clear from Derek's second post that the GPS operates as a serial com device and can be used by any software that uses serial communication - google earth is simply one option.
