Virtual GPS 1.37
GPS Simulator
Virtual
GPS is a GPS (Global Positioning System) simulator software.
You can use it to emulate a GPS receiver unit connected to your
computer. It's ideal when you need GPS input, but you have no
signal or you can use it to test your GPS applications. It supports
various NMEA 0183 sentences, so it can be used with any GPS
mapping software. 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 receivers
and many other types of instruments. It has been defined by,
and is controlled by, the US-based National Marine Electronics
Association.
Supported NMEA sentences: GPGLL, GPGGA, GPVTG, GPRMC, GPGSA,
GPGSV, GPZDA, GPWPL, GPRTE, GPAAM.
It operates
in two modes: simulator mode and file mode. In simulator mode
the latitude and longitude coordinates are periodically incremented
with a defined step. In file mode the GPS data is loaded from
a text file which contains NMEA 0183 sentences.
The GPS data is transmitted periodically to a serial port (UDP
ports are also supported). To get the output of the simulator,
you can use 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
like: Free
Virtual Serial Ports Emulator by ETERLOGIC,
Null-modem emulator (com0com), Virtual
Serial Port Driver, Virtual
Serial Port Kit and others. Another possible application
of the software is to broadcast the output of the simulator
through serial, USB, bluetooth or IrDA connections.
