Scientific Component has released GPS ToolKit.NET version 1.0 for Windows 98, ME, 2000 and Windows XP, a native .NET managed component for adding GPS support to any Visual Basic .NET, C#, or C++ project.

GPS ToolKit.NET provides .NET software developers with an API that adds full support for reading real-time data from GPS units. It provides access to dozens of data sets, including position, speed, course, satellite, and navigation data, in a number of formats and units. Additionally, GPS ToolKit.NET raises events each time a new fix is received, or navigation or satellite data is updated.

GPS ToolKit.NET works with all types of GPS units, including RS232, USB, and Bluetooth units, and can read from an unlimited number of GPS units simultaneously. The software also allows for playback of NMEA 0183 input files at various speeds, including real-time playback.

GPS ToolKit.NET is a native .NET managed component, and comes complete with six example applications in Visual Basic .NET, C#, and C++.

GPS ToolKit.NET is priced from $179.00 (US), and may be used royalty-free as part of an application. Further information, and a free 30 day trial version are available at http://www.scientificcomponent.com.
