Source Projects
com0com
Creates virtual serial ports and connects them together so that input to one is the output to the other, and vice versa.
com2tcp
Uses telnet to connect a remote server to one of the virtual serial ports.
Our Project
Gpsd2com is an extension of com2tcp. Com2tcp is inadequate because receiving data from a GPSd server requires initialization which cannot be performed within most mapping applications. After the virtual serial ports are created with com0com, gpsd2com will perform the necessary steps to connect to the GPSd server and begin receiving packets. The command-line interface has also been replaced with a much simpler graphical interface.
