Provides location determination using a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver.

Package Specification

The GpsService is capable of reading and outputting raw GPS NMEA strings. In order to parse these into latitude/longitude position pairs, a {@link ist.palcom.services.location.palgpsparser.GPSParserService} is required.

A convenience class GpsDevice exists, that will start a PalCom device on which a single GpsService will run, either in real or simulation mode.
