Virtual GPS

Virtual GPS is a GPS simulation software on the computer. You can use Virtual GPS to simulate a GPS receiver connected to a computer or analyze various GPS sources.

Virtual GPS is an ideal GPS location simulator when you need an input GPS signal but in an area where there is no signal, more simply, Virtual GPS is used to test other GPS applications. The GPS data is loaded from a text file containing NMEA 0183 (a specialized electronic and data standard used in the telecommunications industry), so Virtual GPS is used with any GPS mapping software.

NMEA 0183 data (referred to as NMEA for short) combines electronic data and standard data parameters to connect electronic devices such as sound emitters, sound waves, wind speed meters and directions, gyroscope compass, autopilot, GPS receiver, and more. Normally, Virtual GPS is controlled by The US-based National Marine Electronics Association as well as in laboratories, researches . without relying on real GPS signal.

Virtual GPS supports NMEA data types such as GPGLL, GPGGA, GPVTG, GPRMC, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPZDA, GPWPL, GPRTE, GPAAM. Currently, Virtual GPS supports simulating fake GPS signals from satellites such as GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou.

Virtual GPS works with 3 modes: simulator mode, file mode and real GPS. In the simulation mode, the coordinate system of latitude and longitude is periodically increased according to the established steps. In file mode, GPS data is loaded from a text file containing NMEA 0183. In contrast, the real GPS mode retrieves location data from the real GPS receiver.

GPS data can be periodically transmitted to a UDP port. To get the output signal from this GPS emulator, use a null-modem cable to connect 2 physical ports or USB ports, even connect 2 Bluetooth or IrDA ports or use one of the software. virtual port on the market to simulate 2 connection ports such as Free Virtual Serial Ports Emulator of ETERLOGIC, Null-modem Emulator (com0com), Virtual Serial Port Kit, Virtual Serial Port Driver . In addition to the aforementioned main function, Virtual GPS It can also be used to transfer emulator output data via USB, Bluetooth or IrDA connections.
