NMEASimulator is an NMEA / Signal K data stream generator to mimic vessel movement, engine status, water depth, etc.
As well as generating both NMEA0183 and Signal K data streams it also sends ViewSyncUDP packets which can be used by Google Earth(tm) and LiquidGalaxy installations.
It can work in three modes:
1. Set initial seed values and then perodically apply a delta to them to mimic vessel movement.
- Individual values can be manually overridden (supports using keyboard arrows Up-Down alters speed and L-R alters heading).
- Steering mode allows altering course by setting the rudder angle (supports using L-R keyboard arrows).
2. Follow a GPX / KML Track.
- NMEASimulator will walk through each point of the Track at the interval set in the configuration screen.
- If a track has multiple segments, NMEASimulator will concatenate all the segments into one contiguous Track*
3. Replay a recorded log.
- NMEASimulator can log the generated NMEA / Signal K output to a log file.
- These log files can be replayed allowing the recorded data to be re-sent.
NMEASimulator is a replacement for both the NMEASimulator and SignalKSimulator Chrome Apps (Support for Chrome Apps end as of June 2021 for Windows, Mac & Linux)
NMEASimulator is now available in General Release for Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi (armv7l).
