I haven't used it... But I seem to remember you can try it for free.

Hi Mel,

I've looked at this software (Franson GpsGate 2.0) before, and I just now 
looked at it again and read through the User's Manual. As far as I can 
determine, this software requires the single "Input" device to be an actual 
GPS receiver, not a generic I/O serial device (like a transceiver). It 
actually communicates with the GPS and either identifies its brand, model, 
etc., or identifies that it is a generic GPS receiver using NMEA protocol.
It 
then goes on to obtain the locational fix coming out of the GPS. The GpsGate

status tray icon turns red if it can't find a GPS device to communicate
with, 
yellow if it finds a GPS but has no fix yet, green if it has a fix. If it's 
red, you can't do anything with the program.

So I'm pretty sure this won't work. The theory is dead-nuts right for what
we 
need, but it is apparently coded only for this specific application. If I'm 
wrong, I'd like it explained to me.  :-)
