HI,
The QGIS panel allows you to manually save individual GPS points to a currently open & editable point layer - a mouse click on the button does this. Upon saving a point, you will be presented with a dialogue box to enter the values for any fields (attributes) defined in the map layer. There is also a check box in the pane to log the NMEA GPS data to file. You can then use a Python QGIS NMEA plugin (nmea2qgis2) to open the saved GPS NMEA data file, and optionally save as a shapefile. This is an experimental plugin, so you will need to enable these. I just used this plugin today - and found a bug in the python code which incorrectly converts southern hemisphere latitudes to decimal degrees, but this is a simple fix, & I'll email the author to hopefully fix the code. Prior to this I used an awk script to convert the GGA lines in a QGIS GPS log file to points, with a counter allowing them to be ordered and easily turned into a line by another QGIS plugin (Points2One). Hope this helps...

Hi all, The QGIS plugin "GPS tools" imports and exports GPX files. But I need a plug in to live grab GPS data. I connect my GPS to an USB port. The GPS sends continuously an ASCII string with GPS data and I would like to visualise the live data on a QGIS map and store points when I hit a functionkey. A sort of surveyors tool. Anyone any ideas? Thanks Joep ---------------------------------------------------- [logo ArcheoPro Algemeen, Mailsize] drs. ing.
