Question: GPS emulator for Windows XP?

Hi everybody out there,

I am dealing with a program which export GPS data to a GPS device
connected on a serial port. As I do not have a GPS device, I wonder any

of you know of a GPS emulator, preferably for free, for Windows XP
which attaches to a serial port and acts like a real GPS device.


If you know about such emulator, drop me a line and let me know about.


Thanks in advance.

Hmm, you may want to check out:

You're writing that your program writes _to_ the GPS - AFAIK this is
usually done via proprietary prototocols - so

1) you probably need to specify the brand of GPS the emulator you're
looking for should emulate

2) your chances are much slimmer to find such an emulator.
