ZylGPSReceiver Mobile

ZylGPSReceiver Mobile is a component for .NET Compact Framework that enables advanced users such as developers or programmers to make devices including mobile phones or PDAs communicate with a GPS receiver. It was tailored for most devices that run on Windows Mobile operating systems.

It can return multiple values including longitude, latitude, speed, heading or altitude and can calculate distances or convert various measurement units. ZylGPSReceiver Mobile is compatible with NMEA 0183-enabled receiver, regardless of whether it is connected through Bluetooth, USB or IrDA. The signal is redirected from all the connection modules mentioned above to a virtual serial port.

NMEA 0183 is used in various domains and has multiple purposes. For instance, it is used for sonars, anemometers, gyrocompass, echo sounders, autopilot and last but not least, GPS receivers.

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a radio-based navigation system that consists of 24 satellites and their corresponding stations on the ground and can calculate positions with high accuracy.

Users can turn to ZylGPSReceiver Mobile to develop GPS applications that have a broad usability range. Some examples of where the applications can be used are navigation (marine or terrestrial), locator systems, sporting, farming, time sync, geographic surveying, fleet management, personal navigation or tracking devices.
