Aspicore GSM Tracker

GPS data from UDP to Moving Map application

This is a Windows .NET utility to reading the data from the Aspicore GSM Tracker and sending it to a GPS mapping program via a serial port, for example COM1.

Requirements: you need two COM ports (the other port can be in another PC) and a "null modem" serial cable to connect them together. Some users have successfully used "Virtual Null Modem Cable".

Basic usage

1.) Configure NAT/port forwarding on your firewall/router to forward the appropriate port on to your PC. (Remember also to add an exception to your Windows Firewall to allow Receiver.EXE to receive UDP datagrams to the port.)

2.) Obtain a serial cable and connect your PC's two COM ports or connect to another PC

3.) Set up software on phone to start sending GPS Data.

4.) Click 'Start Receive'

5.) When you see the data arrive...Open the appropriate COM Port and click 'Start Send'

6.) Launch Moving Map application such as OziExplorer (or MapPoint, Autoroute, Route66, Sea Clear II) and configure it to use the relevent COM port.

Virtual Null Modem Cable

Some users have used a "virtual null modem cable" to get the two programs running and connected withing a single computer without physical COM ports and physical cable. Take a look at: http://www.mixw.net/related.htm#tncemu (ComEmulDrv1.zip).
