Version 17 of GPSFeed

What : A GPS simulator

 Where : http://users.hol.gr/~dzach/gpsfeed/index.html
 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 WindowsXP

dzach : GPSFeed+ outputs GPS NMEA 0183, to both TCP/IP sockets 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 [L1 ].

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 [L2 ]

And a few screenshots:

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

This will interest many people working in GIS.
