ZylGPSReceiver

ZylGPSReceiver is a powerful component for Delphi/CBuilder software developers that enables communication with a serial GPS receiver. Along with returning parameters such as latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and heading, this component also works with any NMEA compatible receiver connected to one of the serial ports. Furthermore, it's also compatible with USB and Bluetooth devices, which typically redirect input from the USB port to a virtual serial port due to their driver.

Using the ZylGPSReceiver component is a great way to create robust GPS Delphi or CBuilder applications. This component has already helped hundreds of developers to achieve success with their GPS-related projects.

ZylCustomGPSReceiver is another top-of-the-line Delphi/C++Builder software development component that is designed to be the base class for any type of GPS receiver. This component delivers an NMEA decoder engine and also works with any NMEA compatible GPS receiver. You can easily extend this class to process NMEA data from various sources such as files, sockets, web services, and more.

ZylUdpGPSReceiver is an extension of the ZylCustomGPSReceiver, created specifically for processing NMEA data from an UDP socket. It utilizes Indy socket components, making its functionality both intuitive and easily manipulated. For developers looking to modify or explore the logic behind this extension, full source code is provided in the download package.

Finally, ZylFileGPSReceiver is yet another extension of the ZylCustomGPSReceiver component, explicitly designed to process NMEA data from a text file. As with other Zyl components, full source code access is provided for this extension.

In summary, ZylGPSReceiver and its accompanying extensions are outstanding tools for Delphi/CBuilder software development without the trouble of crafting a GPS receiver from scratch. Their ease of use, flexibility, and powerful features make them an essential choice for anyone developing location-based applications.
