Thanks Steven. Thanks for the link and good to hear you're developing a GPS module. What would be even better would be a general NMEA parser module, that way it could be used with any NMEA compliant device (GPS, digital compass, radar, sonar, etc.).

We do have a gps module in the works but before that gets released you should have a look at the guts of the GCS that Millswood has created. It is written in RR. Some very cool stuff ...

Parsing GPS NMEA strings?

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:11:00 EST

Anyone have any experience with parsing strings (NMEA 0183 sentences to be exact) received from a GPS? I opened the serial module in RR and it's displaying the data nicely. Now I need to find a way to just display the data I need (ie. latitude, longitude, COG, SOG). I'm breaking new ground here so if anyone has an example project like this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! :)
