GPS Inspector

A GPS utility implemented in Java.

GPS Inspector as an experiment to learn more about GPS and how it could be used within JAVA. The program should work for any NMEA (spec) compatible GPS device. Some modification of the code would be needed to get it to work with Garmin Devices.

Get GPS Inspector and take it for a spin to see what it can actually do for you!
Here are some key features of "GPS Inspector":

· Serial port scan to make it easier to find GPS devices
· Ability to capture raw NMEA data to a file and to replay/simulate the data
· Built in simulated NMEA data (mostly used for debugging)
· Displays lots of GPS output data: position, fix info, fix quality, dilution of precision, speed, heading, and fix time
· Destination direction and distance pointing, with the ability to search for destinations using plain text searches
· 3D/2D plotting of location (and optionally path history) with streaming global satellite imagery layers (via World Wind Java)
· Bulk imagery downloader for caching imagery for offline use.
· Bar plots of signal to noise ratios of satellites (tracked and in the GPS almanac)
· Polar plot showing the azimuth/elevation locations of the GPS satellites
· Raw NMEA data display

Requirements:

· Java
