Press Release Body = The MarshallSoft GPS Component for C/C++/C# (MGC4C) is a Win32 DLL that allows any C/C++/C# program to receive and decode standard NMEA 183 sentences from a GPS receiver connected to the RS232 serial port. Requires a 32-bit Windows C/C++/C# compiler.

- Uses the Windows Win32 API for serial port input. - Works with both real and virtual serial ports. - Runs as a background thread unattended. - The most current GPS data is always available on demand. - Most commonly used NMEA sentence types automatically decoded. - Does not depend on support DLLs. - Several latitude/longitude calculation functions included.
