There's an open ticket for that: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/7878. I'd never had that requirement yet (nor got my hands on anything with such hardware; hm, is there and inverse thing to centrafuse? ie. use a "regular" gps via a windows 8 location provider). Otherwise that might already exists... Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
