GPS2IP Lite vs Trek M

If you need GPS NMEA location data for your computer or other device, with GPS2IP you can stream the information in realtime to solve your requirements. BEWARE - GPS2IP is *not* able to be used for the Apple turn-by-turn navigation app, or Google Maps, or most car navigation programs. It is designed for enthusiasts, or more sophisticated navigation software that can use an external wireless GPS unit. If you aren't sure what NMEA is, please check the website before buying. PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE: http://capsicumdreams.com/gps2ip/ This is a rather special piece of software, and must be used in the right system. This is the free version "GPS2IP Lite" that has most of the same features, so that you can try it out for free. Have a look on our website: http://capsicumdreams.com/gps2ip/differences.php Try it for free, and only buy this full-featured version if it does what you need! The iPhone becomes a GPS server, and to get the information, you just connect to your iPhone using either wifi or Bluetooth LE. Alternatively, you can also push the NMEA data to any online server, using either TCP or UDP and process the information however you want. Each device running GPS2IP can send a unique identifier, so that if you have multiple devices you can determine which device is sending what messages. GPS2IP now can be configured to restart automatically after your iOS device restarts, so you'll always keep track of your position. Apart from navigation software, other methods for connection include telnet or netcat, or many terminal programs. Some navigation software such as MacEnc can read from an IP address natively. Setting up a connection between MacEnc and GPS2IP is easy. Just have a look at the capsicumDreams website! http://capsicumdreams.com/gps2ip/ Different NMEA messages can be selected for transmission according to your requirements. One non-standard message that GPS2IP transmits that is very useful for sailing is $PASHR. GPS 2 IP can run when the iPhone sleeps to support constant location reporting, but be aware that continued use of the GPS when running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. If your device dies or you turn it off when it was running, GPS2IP now automatically resumes sending the location. Beware that this will decrease battery life - we recommend keeping it charging if possible. GPS2IP can also be configured to output data at a selectable frequency (for example once every minute). You can lock the settings, so that no unauthorised people can change the settings. Lots more information and instructions on usage can be found on our website. Enjoy!

Trek M is a travel data display, logger and navigator for trekkers and travelers. It displays basic and enhanced GPS data and optionally logs it and shows condensed navigation instructions on your ActiveLook smart glasses’ heads-up display and also on iPhones and iPads with built-in cellular support. The information is in your preferred units for speed, course and altitude. Additionally, the app collects and calculates derivate information such as distance travelled, maximum and average speeds, highest and lowest altitudes and ascent and descent. The collected data is visible in real time in the watch (GPS data only) and smart glasses, iPhones and iPads (both GPS data and navigation directions). The location data can be saved to a GPX trace: you can follow your current position, active trace or stored traces on the map. The watch app can be also used to remotely connect the phone: start or stop the trace, reset or pause both devices. Trek M builds on and replaces the GPS M app, which is no longer updated but still available for the time being. Images 1: Start screen with speed, distance travelled, current course and altitude, additionally duration from start, maximum and average speeds, maximum and minimum altitudes, cumulative ascent and descent. 2: Tap on map (requires iOS 17.0 or later) or enter street address or contact name for destination 3: Navigation screen on iPhone. Smart glasses show direction arrow, distance to next step, distance travelled and current speed (Image is from simulator: simulated route does *not* lead to given destination, thus directions indicate navigation error and suggest corrective turn). Please see the User's Guide for print screens from actual device, route and navigation. ** Note ** - The navigation instructions are based on Apple Maps. The supported languages are English and Finnish. Any other Apple Maps supported language can be added, or the phone can temporarily use English as the primary language. - iWatches are not supported with iPads - Navigation is only supported with iPads with built-in cellular support Please check out the User's Guide at https://pbase.com/pekkal/trekm before purchasing the app!
