Vutog GPS Simulator - Ultimate (Five Users Pack)

Vutog GPS Simulator - Ultimate (Five Users Pack)
The Vutog GPS Simulator provides a complete suite for all your GPS simulation needs and more. It is designed to assist in developing, testing and debugging GPS Applications and equipment working with the NMEA-0183 protocol. It can be used for testing navigation applications and equipments indoor when GPS Signal is not available for best productivity maximization.

There are seven output interfaces supported by Vutog GPS Simulator –

1.    Serial Port (RS 232)
2.    TCP/IP
3.    UDP
4.    Bluetooth
5.    Virtual COM Port
6.    Android – GPS Gateway App Bluetooth Server
7.    UUID based Bluetooth Server

This product can be used with a hardware null-modem (COM port - RS232) cable, Ethernet Cable for UDP & TCP/IP, Bluetooth, Virtual COM Port and Android Mobile Devices. Multiple connections together can be created and managed from same workspace.

Vutog GPS Simulator acts as a flexible GPS Receiver for your navigation applications which works without visible GPS satellites signals. It gives out GPS data (reception quality, speed of relocation, position, satellite constellation and more) based on the NMEA-0183 protocol. 

Vutog Simulator can also be used to debug and test your Android App using GPS Gateway App. Today, 40% of Android Apps depend on inbuilt GPS Receiver of Android Mobile Phones.

By running Bluetooth Server under Vutog GPS Simulator, the connection between GPS Gateway App and Vutog GPS Simulator can be established over Bluetooth. GPS Gateway App connects to Vutog GPS Simulator as a Client and receives the generated NMEA Sentences or data in special format. The GPS Gateway parses and mocks these received locations in the mobile and the mobile starts showing these locations in real time.

Vutog GPS Simulator supports 4 input modes for GPS Device Simulation -

1.    World Map Input mode
2.    Log files playback input mode (Advanced NMEA Player)
3.    Data Forward Input Mode (using Data Forward Manager Tool)
4.    None Input mode


In World Map Input mode, it works in tracking mode. That is, you just need to select Start Point and End Point before starting GPS simulation. The Vutog GPS Simulator starts generating NMEA Sentences with all data by auto calculation for the object movement from Start Point to End Point. See more http://gps.vutog.com/ 

The output NMEA Sentences can be saved to .NMEA/.TXT file or transmitted via COM port or/and TCP/IP or/and UDP or/and Bluetooth (with SPP or Without SPP) or/and using GPS Gateway App on Mobile Device over Bluetooth or/and UUID based Bluetooth Server or/and Virtual COM Port.

The Log files playback input mode provides a lots of high end capabilities to replay the stored log files. You can view analyze the tracking path (the path of object moved) on XY Plot Graph and World Map.

Replay speed controller gives high flexibility to control the speed of NMEA replay just like a MP3 player - like 1 NMEA per Sec, 10 NMEA Per Sec or maximum speed.

This capability of saved file re-playing provides an opportunity for creating repeatable test scenarios (for example, for regression testing), which would be difficult to do with an actual GPS receiver.

The Forwarded Input Mode using Data Forward Tool can be used to forward data from Actual GPS Receiver to you applications. Using Data Forward Tool, you can multiplex Actual GPS Receiver data from one connection to many connections.

The None Mode provides lots of capabilities to play with NMEA sentences. You can type, load and send the NMEA to TCP/IP and COM Port.

Apart from this, it also provides certain utilities like Data Forward Manager, CRC calculator, NMEA Sentence Selector and Logger.

Advanced Docking GUI and Multithreaded environment of Vutog GPS Simulator provides N number of connections can be configured from a single Vutog GPS Simulator and broadcasts the same NMEA to all connections or each connection can work separately to provide simulation to different GPS Devices at same time.
