The aim of this project is to create a full utility suite for NMEA protocols (best known from GPS devices). First goal is a full implemenation of the NMEA 0183 protocol 3.0 (without proprietary extensions).
The library provides parsers for NMEA sentences, gpsd-like network daemons and data generators for simulation and testing.
This allows advanced sensor handling from cellphones/tablets/laptops with GPS up to vehicles/ships with NMEA sensors on board.
GPSDproxy is a small program which reads GPS data from a running gpsd process (http://gpsd.berlios.de/) and forwards it to a remote server via an UDP connection. GPSDproxy is intended to be run on GPS enabled mobile devices.
