GpsGate.com - How to share your GPS position online
1. Introduction
Using the web site GpsGate.com you can see a group of users including yourself on a map moving in real time. All
members do not need to have a GPS, you can simply view the map as well. Users who want to share his/her position
must have GpsGate installed.
You can also share your GPS (NMEA) signal over the Internet. The GPS signal can be received by users that are members in your group.
Using GpsGate, the remote GPS signal will look exactly as the GPS was connected directly to a Windows PC or Pocket PC.
By connecting your favorite navigation application to GpsGate, you can see your friends location there. You can also
use GpsGate's Google Earth plugin for that.
