Accord's GPS NMEA Toolkit offers software developers an API to integrate Windows applications with GPS devices. It's a comprehensive solution for interfacing with GPS data.
The toolkit supports most commonly used NMEA messages from a GPS receiver, providing all the necessary services for reading GPS data from the serial port, updating applications with the latest GPS data in real-time, analyzing receiver performance, and even reading stored NMEA data from files for analysis through API function calls.
Provided as a Dynamically Linked Library (DLL), the GPS NMEA Toolkit can be accessed by any Windows-based application through API calls. Additionally, the toolkit comes with examples featuring complete source code for development applications.
The NMEA is a GPS receiver data format standard created by the National Marine Electronics Association, aimed at facilitating the interconnection and interchangeability of equipment, minimizing confusion between manufacturers. GPS receivers use NMEA data format only to transmit GPS output data to other interfacing equipment.
With the GPS NMEA Toolkit, developers can easily configure communication characteristics of the serial interface with GPS receivers, configure NMEA messages for data extraction, storage, and analysis, control and monitor outputs from GPS receivers in real-time, carry out performance analysis of the receiver, and develop application programs for fleet management, traffic telematics, geographic information systems, and car navigation systems with seamless real-time interfaces to GPS receivers.
