Read gps coordinates from .txt file and not serial #400

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

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
http://gpsd.berlios.de/gpsfake.html

Here is some info in our user guide:

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
