Features
The ccGPS control is an ActiveX component acting as an interface between a standard GPS
receiver and a computer application.
NMEA-0183 signals from the transceiver are monitored and the current position
information and navigation features are updated on the controls properties and displays as
well as the components in-built properties.
Under program direction the control notifies the host application if the
unit has moved by a predetermined distance, direction change, time interval or as the
status of the signal changes
Features
Runs from a variety of serial devices or select a simulation file.
Simulated GPS display
Control on board vehicle navigation systems
Monitor GPS Fix quality through the satellite page
Benefits
Easy to configure
Notified of new fix data only as determined
Auto alarm of problems in position quality
