Read gps coordinates from .txt file and not serial
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
This isn't really an issue is more an improvement that would be very handy if
implemented. I would like gmapcatcher to read the coords from a .txt file and
then show them has a point (if choosen) and as trace (if choosen).
Grateful

Not sure what you are trying to do, and honestly I do not see any use for it...
I you want to create a fake gps trail look into gpsd

You can already import GPX trails into GMapCatcher, so can't see the point for
this.
GPX files are standard instead of some random format in .txt file...

Thanks for your answers. How can i use fakeGPS (didn't understood what is
written in the fake.py. If you could show me a tutorial or something like that
iti would be very apreciate.
I have a project, where i have to show in real time the gps location and gps
track at a map. For that, i wanted gmapcatcher to read one file, gps.txt (for
example), where the position would be stored and then with last coordinates
show position and show track (something like in mission planner). Is that
possible?
If this isn't the best page to ask this, i'm very sorry
Grateful for all of your help
