ZylNMEAGenerator 1.55
Delphi & C++Builder Component

ZylNMEAGenerator is a Delphi & C++ Builder component that transforms position data in NMEA 0183 format. NMEA 0183 is a standard protocol, used by GPS receivers to transmit position data.
NMEA 0183 (or NMEA for short) is a combined electrical and data specification for communication between marine electronic devices such as echo sounder, sonars, Anemometer (winds speed and direction), gyrocompass, autopilot, GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers and many other types of instruments. It has been defined by, and is controlled by, the US-based National Marine Electronics Association.
You can generate complex NMEA sentences from simple data inputs. The sentences are recognized by any NMEA compatible mapping software. In this way with this component you can simulate either a GPS receiver. You just write the generated NMEA sentences on a virtual serial port or an internet socket connected to mapping software.
You can use this component also as a GPS simulator using a null-modem cable which interconnects two physical serial or USB ports, or you can interconnect two bluetooth or Irda ports, or you can use one of the virtual serial port software from the market, which emulates two interconnected serial ports
Supported NMEA sentences: GPGLL, GPGGA, GPVTG, GPRMC, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPZDA, GPWPL, GPRTE, GPAAM.

The demo version is fully functional in Delphi and C++Builder IDE, but it displays a nag dialog (the licensed version will, of course, not have a nag dialog and will not be limited to the IDE). The package includes demo programs for Delphi and C++Builder and a help file with the description of the component.

Installation:
If you have a previous version of the component installed, you must remove it completely before installing this version. To remove a previous installation, proceed as follows:
-Start the IDE, open the packages page by selecting Component - Install Packages
-Select ZylNMEAGenPack package in the list and click the Remove button
-Open Tools - Environment Options - Library and remove the library path pointing to ZylNMEAGenerator folder
-Close the IDE
-Browse to the folder where your bpl and dcp files are located (default is $(DELPHI)\Projects\Bpl for Delphi, $(BCB)\Projects\Bpl for C++ Builder). -Delete all of the files related to ZylNMEAGenerator
-Delete or rename the top folder where ZylNMEAGenerator is installed
-Start regedit (click Start - Run, type "regedit.exe" and hit Enter). Open the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\<compiler>\<version>\Palette and delete all name/value items in the list related to ZylNMEAGenerator. (<compiler> is either "Delphi" or "C++Builder", <version> is the IDE version you have installed)

-Unzip the zip file and open the ZylNMEAGenPack.dpk file in Delphi (ZylNMEAGenPack.bpk file in C++Builder), compile and install it
and add to Tools/Environment Options/Library (in Delphi/C++Builder menu) the path of the installation (where the ZylNMEAGenerator.dcu or ZylNMEAGenerator.dcuil file is located). The component will be added to the "Zyl Soft" tab of the component palette. After you have the component on your component palette, you can drag and drop it to any form, where you can set its properties by the Object Inspector and you can write event handlers selecting the Events tab of the Object Inspector and double clicking the preferred event.

-It is indicated to use this component with "Stop on Delphi exception" option deactivated. You can do this from Delphi / C++Builder menu, "Tools/Debugger Options/Language Exceptions/Stop on Delphi exceptions", otherwise you will have a break at all the handled exceptions
