Importing NMEA Data

The second step in importing GPS data that meets NMEA standards involves selecting the data sets to import.

File	Select the NMEA file to import.
Windows (CP1252)	Select the character set used for the sentences of the NMEA file. If this parameter is not properly defined, it is possible that some characters will not be properly displayed. The default value is usually appropriate.

The third step allows you to configure the parameters of the layer that will be generated when the data is imported.

Projection	For all NMEA sentences, the coordinates system is based on the WGS84 ellipsoid. The proposed projection therefore includes this ellipsoid.
Layer name	The data will be imported into a layer whose name must be specified.
Import other data	It is possible to indicate that other data sets will be imported; this automatically brings you back to the first step.
