## What is NMEA Gps?

NMEA client and server.

Read GPS Data from core location ( or through direct connection for supported GPS, currently DUAL XGPS150 / 160 are supported ) and forward to other apps/devices through NMEA protocol ( supported by many apps ); an internal NMEA client automatically connects to NMEA Server if active ( or it can be used to test and display data from other NMEA sources, disabling internal server and configurating it )

NMEA Fps supports both TCP and UDP clients ( configurable ) . Note that UDP , for protocol limits, will work only when iPhone is connected to a wifi router 

Current gps position cab be shown as qrcode, enlarged and shared

This app allows reading GPS info from devices that lack of an internal GPS ( such as iPod and iPad wifi ), and from your desktop pc, simply connecting to the device running NMEA Gps app; you can share the *same* gps info (possibly derived from an external GPS) among multiple devices ( even if they lack of an internal GPS); useful for regatta app , all members will get same info.

Follow this tutorial to connect QGIS to your iPhone GPS ( other GIS applications have similar features, please let me know if you successfully connect to other GIS applications, or directly comment the tutorial ):

Satellite data are not reliable when app connects to GPS through core location, that does not forward these kind of info; in any case, app can perform direct connection to DUAL XGPS 150 e XGPS 160 from dual electronics ( if available ), and get complete gps data (satellite info included) at a frequency up to 10 hz .
The dual gps is available here :

You can activate LOG and export generated file to give a look to NMEA data and detect problems

Continued use of GPS running in background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 1/5 — Misions

*2026-03-25, version 2.3.2*

Appli ne marche pas

### 4/5 — Pas mal

*2026-01-22, version 2.3.2*

Plutôt satisfait, juste dommage que le protocole UDP ne fonctionne que en wifi, ca serait top de pouvoir aussi l’utiliser en cellulaire.

Sinon dans l’ensemble ça fait le job :)

### 1/5 — Caca

*2024-04-08, version 2.3.2*

L’appli sens bon le caca

### 5/5 — Super application

*2024-04-02, version 2.3.2*

Ne vous fiez pas aux avis de ses stupides élèves et leur cours de SNT. Ils ne savent juste pas s’en servir.
Elle est super pratique pour récupérer des trames NMEA depuis son ordinateur en se servant donc du GPS intégré à l’Iphone.
Pour ceux qui ne savent pas utiliser le serveur, on peut par exemple utiliser la commande :
nc [adresse IP de l’Iphone] [Numero de port serveur]
Et on reçoit tous les flux de donnés. 
Le port par défaut est le 11000.

### 1/5 — Minecraft en moins bien

*2024-02-09, version 2.3.2*

Certes les graphismes sont mieux mais le gameplay est très limité : en effet, les boss comme les profs ou les «parents » sont presques imbattables, les pubs sur l’outil télé sont trop récurrentes à mon goût et au premier petit crime votre partie se fou en l’air et vous passez des années dans une zone délabré nommé prison. 
Ce jeu qui se dit sandbox-fps est vraiment bas de game et ne mérite pas vos mb de stockage.
Seul avantage : la map est très grande et elle permet une expérience d’exploration une fois que vous avez acquis assez d’argent et un ‘passeport’

### 1/5 — CHINESE GOVERNMENT STEAL MY DATA

xi jinping steal my photos

### 1/5 — Nul

*2023-05-02, version 2.3.2*

Le cours de SNT est nul mais l’application est encore pire ( trop lente). Je suis pas content Merci akram

### 1/5 — Snt

*2022-04-04, version 2.3.2*

Ne fonctionne pas très bien désolé pour vous

### 1/5 — nul

*2022-04-04, version 2.3.2*

il est est très lent et il ne marche pas je ne valide point

### 5/5 — SNT

*2022-03-17, version 2.3.2*

Très bonne application, (en vrai je m’en fiche mais ça nous a permis de faire un tour à l’extérieur durant le cour de SNT)

## Frequently asked questions about NMEA Gps

### What is NMEA Gps?

NMEA Gps acts as both a client and a server to read and forward GPS data using the NMEA protocol. It allows devices without internal GPS to receive location information from other devices.

### Can NMEA Gps be used offline?

While the app can read GPS data from core location, UDP client functionality is limited to when the iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi router due to protocol constraints. Direct connections to supported external GPS devices do not rely on Wi-Fi.

### Does NMEA Gps have ads?

Yes, NMEA Gps contains advertisements. Users may encounter ads while using the application.

### What devices does NMEA Gps support?

NMEA Gps is supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod. It can also be used to share GPS data with desktop PCs.

### What is the age rating for NMEA Gps?

NMEA Gps has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for a wide range of users.

### Can NMEA Gps connect to external GPS devices?

Yes, NMEA Gps supports direct connection to specific external GPS devices like the DUAL XGPS150/160, providing more complete GPS data including satellite information at up to 10 Hz.

### What are the benefits of using NMEA Gps for regattas?

For regattas, NMEA Gps ensures all members receive the same GPS information, even if some devices lack an internal GPS. This consistent data sharing is crucial for accurate navigation and competition.
