+Since version 10.0, GPXSee is able to show the real-time GPS position + using the Qt positioning API. To make it work, you have to select and setup + the positioning plugin used in the program preferences. See the Qt Positioning Plugins + documentation + for more info.
+ +If your device/OS supports the platform positioning API (Core Location
+ / Windows.Devices.Geolocation) you may try that first. If you have an external
+ USB/serial GPS device connected, you can use the serialnmea
plugin.
+ In such case you have to provide the serial port id/device in the plugin
+ parameters. Use something like COM3
on Windows and
+ /dev/tty.SerialPort-3
on Mac.
On Linux, you can use Geoclue2 as the platform plugin, but that is "Gnome + quality" at its best and you will most probably not make it work. But + you can try...
+ +Theoretically, you can also use the serialnmea
plugin like on Windows/Mac,
+ but practically
+ almost
+ all distributions
+ fail to build the plugin... The only exception are distributions using Qt6 like
+ ArchLinux. In Qt6, the NMEA
+ plugin has been completely reworked and is much more powerfull than in Qt5. And
+ it compiles!
