7

SYNOPSIS

9         use GPS::NMEA;
10         $gps = new GPS::NMEA(  'Port'      => '/dev/ttyS0',
11                                'Baud'      => 9600,
12                       );
13

DESCRIPTION

15       GPS::NMEA allows the connection and use of of a GPS receiver in perl
16       scripts.
17
18       Note that latitudes and longitudes are in DMM format.

EXAMPLES

24       Get the position periodically:
25
26           #!/usr/bin/perl
27           use GPS::NMEA;
28
29           my $gps = GPS::NMEA->new(Port => '/dev/cuaa0', # or COM5: or /dev/ttyS0
30                                    Baud => 4800);
31           while(1) {
32               my($ns,$lat,$ew,$lon) = $gps->get_position;
33               print "($ns,$lat,$ew,$lon)\n";
34           }
35
36       Get the internal NMEA dump:
37
38           #!/usr/bin/perl
39           use GPS::NMEA;
40           use Data::Dumper;
41
42           my $gps = GPS::NMEA->new(Port => '/dev/cuaa0', # or COM5: or /dev/ttyS0
43                                    Baud => 4800);
44           while(1) {
45               $gps->parse;
46
47               # Dump internal NMEA data:
48               $gps->nmea_data_dump;
49
50               # Alternative to look at the internal NMEA data:
51               require Data::Dumper;
52               print Data::Dumper->new([$gps->{NMEADATA}],[])->Indent(1)->Useqq(1)->Dump;
53           }
54           __END__
