Direct Support for GPS Input
– GPS Builder automatically detects any
NMEA 0183 GPS input source. What this means is that you can connect

within the GPS Builder application itself. This includes information such as
Latitude, Longitude, Speed, Heading, etc.

Real-Time Capturing of GPS Points
– When a GPS sensor is connected
to your PC, GPS Builder can capture GPS points with the click of a button.

have to do is drive the actual route using a laptop, and record each trigger
point as you pass through them. Later, you can fill in the commands that
you want to associate with each point.

Online Map Support
– GPS Builder interfaces directly with an online map
database. This database allows you to click on a location to obtain its
longitude and latitude. This information can then be entered into your GPS
Playlist. This feature allows users to program GPS Playlists without
traveling the actual route.
