integration between GPS and Autocad

[Anonymous]

What I seek is :

A means of feeding the GPS signal into AutoCAD, i.e. using the accurate GPS
signal to reveal one's location on an AutoCAD map.

A means of feeding a GPS signal into the "location" feature of WHIP on a web
browser.

GPS signals are typically converted into Latitude and Longitudes. You would
have to use NADCON to convert from Lat Long to a grid system such as NAD83
(state plane coordinates). There is a Delphi Component that allows you to
do this and I suspect they have an OCX that could be used with VB.

Visit www.bluemarblegeo.com and look at the product called GeoTrack. There
are other shareware products available for Delphi but not sure for VB.

You'll find a rough beginning at the bottom of the page at
http://www.turvill.com/t2/shareware.htm

At this point, the "integration" is pretty loose -- you need to get the
GPS data into an ASCII text file, which then gets read into AutoCAD by
GPS.LSP or GPS.VLX (depending on your version of AutoCAD). But it's a
start.
