Introduction to GPS ToolKit Pro 1.0

GPS ToolKit Pro is an ActiveX object that makes it easy to add GPS support to any Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, Excel, or scripting project that supports ActiveX controls. GPS data (including lat/lon, speed, course, altitude, and dozens of other datasets) can be accessed through GPS ToolKit's properties, and GPS ToolKit's multithreaded event-based architecture notifies your application when data has been updated, saving you from having to write messy polling routines.

GPS ToolKit Pro:

  • Works with all GPS units that support NMEA 0183 output (that's just about all of them!)
  • Provides an intuitive interface that makes GPS data availible through straightforward properties.
  • Can playback NMEA 0183 input files in various speeds, including real-time playback.
  • Notifies your application when fix, naviagation, or status has been updated.
  • Reports position, altitude, speed, and distance in a number of formats and units.
  • Requires only one file to be distributed along with your application.
  • Works with development environments such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi, as well as scripting environments like Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • Can be redistributed royalty-free (as part of your application).
  • Does not require knowledge of COM or ATL to use.
  • Supports Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
  • Is written in Visual C++ 6.0 using ATL 3.0 so that it is small and fast.
