Virtual GPS is a piece of software that provides developers with the possibility to simulate a GPS receiver connected to their computers. Thus, they can test GPS applications even when their GPS device does not connect to the network.

Virtual GPS can prove a useful tool for developers in a variety of situations, as it includes more features than a simple GPS (Global Positioning System) simulator would.

The utility comes with support for multiple sources for input data, including the integrated simulator, a connected GPS device, or a file that has been previously saved on the computer. Depending on the selected source, the tool can operate in simulator, file, or GPS mode.

The software has been built with support for NMEA 0183 sentences, which means that developers and end-users can also use it as a mapping application. Some of the NMEA sentences supported in the tool are GPGLL, GPGGA, GPRMC, GPGSV, GPWPL, and GPRTE.

Depending on the mode in which the program is set to operate, it loads the GPS data from the selected source. Thus, in simulator mode the coordinates are periodically incremented, in file mode the data is taken from the text file that includes NMEA 0183 sentences, while in GPS mode all the necessary info comes from the connected receiver.

Users can set the program to periodically transmit GPS data to a serial port. Moreover, they can use a null-modem cable to interconnect two physical ports (either serial or USB), or can connect Bluetooth or Irda ports. The tool also comes with support for virtual ports.

Virtual GPS is a powerful GPS simulator that provides users with the possibility to test applications even if their GPS receiver does not connect to the satellite. It can work in three different modes and allows users transmit data to USB ports if needed.
