What : A GPS simulator

 Description : GPSFeed+ is a software GPS simulator, a utility that feeds
               the PC with continuous GPS data as if it were traveling
               in a car or airplane.  NMEA 0183 GPS sentences are sent
               to the application through a socket (TCP/IP) connection.
               It also outputs the same NMEA data to a serial port of
               the PC.

GPSFeed+ looks like this in [Linux] [KDE], running ''spiral'' track shape.

This is another interesting track (here ''shape=spiral period=1, skip=50)'' on [Windows]XP

[dzach] : GPSFeed+ outputs GPS NMEA 0183, to both TCP/IP [socket]s connected to it and to a [serial port]. Any other computer connected to the serial port of the one running GPSFeed+ can receive GPS NMEA sentenses. It would be nice if it could simulate an ''input'' serial port on the same computer, so that applications been tested could run on the same computer as GPSFeed+ and use a single serial port.


GPSFeed+ uses a package called carto for drawing gps tracks on geographic space (as opposed to canvas space). This package is presented in a separate page here [http://wiki.tcl.tk/13889].

Changed the name to GPSFeed+ to avoid possible conflict with the name of other products.

[dzach] 11-3-2005: A number of changes (now in version 0.52) besides the aesthetic name change from GPSFeed+ to gpsfeed+:
   * Configuration panel has now 11 entries.
   * UDP connectivity is now possible with the tcludp package
   * Output monitor
   * User defined NMEA sentences
   * More, here [http://users.hol.gr/~dzach/gpsfeed/index.html]

And a few screenshots:

Maybe this page should change to gpsfeed+. How is this done?

This will interest many people working in [GIS].
