WIGS

WIGS project is a powerful tool for anyone who wants to communicate with a GPS receiver, thanks to its API that allows you to talk to your device over the serial port via NMEA protocol. This protocol is supported by most GPS receivers, so chances are it will work with your device as well. But that's not all: WIGS project also comes with its own application that makes use of this API.

The first phase of the WIGS project has been successfully completed, and now the API is available for download. The second phase involves creating an application that presents the data received from the GPS in a simple and intuitive way. But here's the best part: the third phase of the project is perhaps the most exciting, as it involves adding a special mapping feature that allows you to load any scanned map and present your current position on it. This is made possible by providing a set of known coordinates on the map, usually the corners of the map.

Installation of WIGS project is a breeze. Simply put the JAR file in the 'lib' directory in your SDK. If you prefer, you can update your CLASSPATH environment variable to point to the directory in which the JAR file is located.

To use WIGS project, you will need the Java Communications API. This requirement ensures that your device is compatible with the software.

In the latest release of WIGS project, several bugs that were previously reported in the bug database have been fixed. These fixes are available for download in GPSCommAPI 1.0.2. We want to extend a special thank you to SF.Net user 'darkeye' for pointing out the bugs and providing a fix.

Overall, WIGS project is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to communicate with their GPS device. Its API, application, and mapping feature make it a must-have for anyone who wants to explore the great outdoors.
