GPSVessel
This module sends to a serial interface the geographic
coordinates of the vessel in the GPS NMEA protocol format so that an
external viewer (e.g. in a Palm or PC) can show the position.
In other words it transforms the Orbiter PC in a GPS emulator that
sends the vessel coordinates to a serial interface (e.g. Bluetooth,
wired serial, etc.).
Connecting your Palm or a PC, no matter the Operating System, and
starting your
GPS program you can show the data, track the flight, etc.
You can easy find open source and freeware GPS software for your Palm
and PC
on the net.
