NMEPos: NMEA 0183 GPS Position Simulator
The NMEPos program sends an NMEA navigation signal to marine navigation equipment thereby simulating a vessel's movement.
It is intended for the operation of marine navigation equipment on "dry land" for demonstrating, testing & lecturing. Featuring:-
- Ship's Starting Point, Speed, Heading, Rate of Turn
- NMEA 0183 GLL / GGA / RMC
- Run, Stop, Pause
- Checksum Option
- Com Port Selectable
- Save and Load Voyage
Demonstrate / test your navigation plotter or ECDIS at:-.
- Exhibitions / Conferences
- Laboratories
- Equipment Workshops
NMEPos simulates the vessel's movements by repeatedly sending NMEA sentences containing the ship's position to your marine equipment.
The NMEA marine equipment responds to the signal sent in exactly the same way as it would respond to the signal from an on-board GPS receiver unit - simulating a vessel's movement.
Requires RS232/422 connection from the Windows PC to Navigation equipment. If no serial port is available you can use a USB to RS232/RS422 converter.
