Global Mapper provides the ability to track the position of a serial GPS device connected to your computer's
serial port (or USB via a serial-to-USB convertor) or a Garmin USB GPS device connected to your computer's
USB port in real-time over the top of any loaded mapping data. For serial GPS devices, the GPS device must
communicate in either NMEA-0183 v2.x or Garmin binary format in order to be compatible with Global
Mapper.
When tracking a GPS device, you can mark the current location as a waypoint. You can also choose to record
a bread-crumb trail, or tracklog, of where you have gone.
Below is a sample screen capture of what Global Mapper looks like when tracking a GPS device over loaded
data. In the sample, 30-m SDTS DEM data is loaded as a backdrop with Tiger 2002 data loaded on top. You
can see the GPS vessel location and the tracklog of where the vessel has been. The GPS Information dialog
displays current GPS status information.
