Hi @Sakthivelj -
If your GPS supports producing a UDP NMEA output stream with the following messages, it can be configured as the position (and heading) source for the BlueBoat.
_GPS_SENTENCE_RMC
_GPS_SENTENCE_GGA
_GPS_SENTENCE_VTG
_GPS_SENTENCE_HDT
Source
Once you’ve configured your gps to output those messages, directed at the Raspberry Pi address of 192.168.2.2, port 27000, (you’ll need an ethernet switch), you can configure BlueOS as follows:

  1. In Autopilot Firmware, Serial Ports, set up serial2 as udpin:0.0.0.0:27000

  2. Under Autopilot Parameters the parameter GPS_TYPE should be set to NMEA, and Serial2_Protocol set to GPS. Make sure that no other Serial#_Protocol parameter is set to GPS as well.
  3. No configuration of the NMEA Injector (menu tab in BlueOS) should be necessary.
  4. Make sure you are running the latest stable BlueOS, and are using the latest ArduRover (4.5.1)

Let us know how it goes!
