PosiView Plugin

PosiView tracks multiple vehicles and moving objects reporting their position via USBL, GPS or other navigation devices.

Features

The Plugin reads usually NMEA formatted data from USBL or other navigation devices and displays the object as scaled symbol on the canvas.

Additionally the positions are displayed in several docked windows.

The main intention of this plugin is to turn QGIS into a navigation software for underwater devices.
