A satellite navigation device, colloquially called a GPS receiver, or simply a GPS, is a device that is capable of receiving information from GNSS satellites and then to calculate the device's geographical position. Using suitable software, the device may display the position on a map, and it may offer routing directions.

NMEATime2 is PC time synchronization software that synchronizes the PC clock to the time from a GPS receiver.
NMEATime2 is set up as a system service where the PC clock is disciplined to the NMEA string from the GPS. The control loop uses the same techniques in disciplining OCXO oscillators and atomic Rubidium clocks. By charactering the arrival of NMEA messages, NMEATime2 uses advanced digital filters to minimize communication jitter and achieve the best reference to train the PC clock to.
Because of this, there are some requirements that need to be met. Specifically, the rate output of NMEA message GPGGA and GPRMC.
It’s getting more difficult to find a PC with a native RS-232 serial communication port, most GPS receivers that interface to a PC use a USB. The majority of the USB GPS receivers will look to the PC as if it is a serial port. However, the modern USB GPS looks to the PC as a USB to Serial driver that emulates the serial port. In the USB world, it’s referred as a CDC (communication device class) device.
NMEATime2 will use the NMEA string (GPGGA) transmitted from the GPS, time tag the first character of the that command and use this as a timing reference. As you would expect, there are delays between the 1PPS epoch and the RS-232 causing software jitter. The delay can be calibrated out. NMEATime2 will use digital filtering (the red line you see in the Time Difference Plot - see below) and discipline the PC clock to this reference.
Requirements
- Supports Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10
The minimum NMEA sentence requirements matter. The most important is that the GPGGA and GPRMC message output once per second.
- GPGGA - must be once/second
- GPRMC - must be once/second
- GPZDA - must be once/second (NMEATime will use this sentence for time. If not available, then NMEATIme will use GGA & RMC for time.)
- GPGSA - every two seconds
- GPGSV - every two seconds

Welcome to the VisualGPSXP multipurpose GPS utility. Please note that VisualGPSXP uses specific NMEA sentences to display data graphically.
VisualGPSXP is a general purpose utility for monitoring the output of a GPS receiver. Using the NMEA data from the GPS receiver, VisualGPSXP will display various statuses graphically. Tools such as a survey utility average the position and shows accuracy of the GPS receiver in a static application. Other features such as analog gauges show altitude, speed, vertical speed and direction. One additional feature is the capability to connect and share a GPS receivers data over the Internet.

GPS Time Armageddon – Should you worry?NMEAParser
The NMEAParser article will show you how a typical NMEA string is constructed and parsed. The article resides on Github and the code documented and supports C++. The source code supports Windows, Mac and Linux. As a bonus, I’ve included a Qt project that makes use of the NMEAParser and shows satellite signal quality, position and satellite signal to noise (SNR).
