[Qgis-user] GPS active tracking plugin in qGIS

[STEVENS Mike]

Dear qGIS users,

 

I am writing from the Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia and
have recently been put on to your site from a Canadian colleague
involved in GIS.  

 

I am wondering if anyone has developed a plugin to allow for live
tracking? - i.e. Have a GPS connected (either via USB or Bluetooth) and
let you track whilst having the software open with various layers?  This
would be very handy for real time positioning of monitoring / research
plots and ground truthing survey points whilst out in the field.

 

Advice greatly appreciated on 1. Has it been developed?, 2. Is the
plugin available for MacOSx? 3. Where can I download it?

 

Regards,

 

Mike Stevens
