WAY32GPS.DLL - Version 1.0.4.0 For those that needs a DLL to communicate with their GPS receiver FIKO Technologies are offering WAY32GPS.DLL which is a comprehensive DLL for GPS receivers based on NMEA and SiRF Star chipset. This GPS DLL does handle all COM-port. USB or Bluetooth communications and this is done under Virtual COM-ports in Windows OS. Besides acting as a receiver it have also commands for SiRF to activate EGNOS/WAAS, Change Baud Rates, swap between NMEA and SiRF binary protocols etc. The DLL comes with software samples and source code in Visual basic to show how to use the DLL and its commands. The VB software can also be used to set baud rates etc. so its good for also practical use. If you’re a software developer, you have also the opportunity to purchase the ownership of this DLL which mean we will compile the DLL with your name choice as well as all data in the property section will indicate you or your company as owner of the DLL. Such ownership DLL can be used in your software applications redistributed or sold without paying any royalties to FIKO.The GPSWAY32.DLL is so easy to use that it beats any DLL or OCX functions you've seen so far as the DLL are running similar to what a EXE-file does. You can take NMEA data direct from memory, also in Visual Basic, without dealing with complicated code, threads or pointers but still have the power of Direct Memory Access. With this technique, several programs may access the GPS data in the same time solving the problems accessing multiple COM-ports in the same time as you only need to "kick start" one thread for the DLL and use the same thread for several programs if necessarily. Threads for the GPS source may be started, destroyed, paused and resumed at any time. Once the GPSWAY32.DLL thread is started and decoded incomming NMEA strings, the data is stores in memory where old messages are overwritten and only the most recent decoded string is available for retrieval in your program.
