  • Incoming location information from up to 19 remote users
  • 3 multicast groups (transmit and receive)
  • 10 remote UDP users (transmit to ten, receive from any number)
  • Demonstration mode
    using
    - local simulated GPS position
  • Display on 2D graph
  • Incoming GPS from 19 remote users
  • Logging for 5 levels: simple, basic, intermediate, debug, full debug
    Logging for information, warning, alarm
  • Monitor/alarms for loss of GPS signal
    Monitor/alarms for Google Earth connection status
