/** * This package contains components for accessing GPS systems * using a serial port connection and the NMEA protocol. It relies * on the RXTX serial port library. To use the functionality, it is * therefore necessary, to download the rs232 serial port library * from http://www.rxtx.org/ and to install it correctly. After that, * rename <code>NmeaSerialPortReader.txt</code> to * <code>NmeaSerialPortReader.java</code>. * * <p>Class <code>GpsLocator</code> is used to publish position * informations. It receives NMEA messages via a <code>NmeaReader</code>. * The message source can either be a serial port or a file. A * reader factory exists, which hides implementation details. The * serial port reader, which is provided as text file, initially scans * all serial ports and selects the first which provides NEMEA messages. * When connecting a second time, it uses the information of the last * successful scan. */ package aimax.osm.gps;
