Automation continued to interpret basic NMEA-0183 sentences: $GPGSV, $GPGLL, $PMGNST.

Additionally to bugfixing and serial connection NMEA-0183 reader, this update provides a new COM object to parse and interpret several sequences raising an event on interpretation.

A new (hopefully) iteration with Magellan eXplorist tools – an automation objects to script GPS data processing. The idea is to provide scriptable objects to access GPS data for various tasks from just logging into file to [the target is believable to be] publishing geolocation information in real time through Jabber/XMPP server in conformance with XEP-0080: User Geolocation.

Currently, it is a lower layer serial connection object to GPS communication port, AlaxInfo.MagExpToo.SerialConnection.

The script below prints GPS NMEA-0183 output to console:
