<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi Carmelo.<br>
<br>
If you pre-process your NMEA data and extract lat/lon values into columns, you <br>
can use the ODBC provider and make points of the columns.<br>
I would suggest some kind of service that regularly does this on the MySql
server.<br>
<br>
Since DWG is a proprietary format, you can't do it with open source tools.<br>
Autodesk MapGuide Studio can import a DWG for you, and it is fairly
inexpensive.<br>
