Capturing NEMA Data from a GPS

What I'm trying to do is set up some kind of an auto ship's log so that when I'm sailing the GPS will create a log for me every 15 min or 30 min or whatever. My old Nobletec nav program had that capability but I've recently switched to Fugawi and I don't get a log book from it. My GPS currently imputs info to my laptop and Fugawi, I just haven't figured out if that info can be captured along the way and utilized by another program to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Ed It is fairly easy to write a VB program to capture and isolate bits of NMEA. It can be also be done within Excel using VBA, or better still use a free add-on - see http://realterm.sourceforge.net/real...rom_excel.html Regards Ian |
