Can the USB adapter be connected to a USB GPS Unit?
No. All USB connections on GPS units are USB slave devices. USB slave devices require a USB master/host such as a PC to be able to initial them. The Gemini Adapter I sell is also a USB slave device. USB slave devices cannot talk to each other even if connect together through a USB hub. It would take very special software running in a USB master/host to pass messages back and forth between USB slaves. You can us programs such as GCC to get GPS data from a USB GPS unit connected to a PC, then have it update the Gemini with the GPS data. Also, the Gemini only interrogates and looks for a GPS unit out the 4 pin Telephone Style RS-232 port. Even if my adapter could connect to a USB GPS unit, the Gemini would not interrogate it for GPS data.
