NMEA (GPS protocol) parser

[Max Lapshin]

I want to introduce parser for NMEA protocol, which is used by GPS
devices to tell geographic coordinates.

Gem is called nmea, available at www.rubyforge.org/projects/nmea.
SVN repository is accessible at http://svn.maxidoors.ru/ruby-nmea

Currently are supported sentences RMC, GLL, GSA ,GGA, GSV, VTG, PSRFTXT.
Ragel (http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel/) is used to parse NMEA.

That brings back some memories. My very first programming job was
parsing NMEA in PIC assembler

As soon, as they will be 2.0 GHz with 1Gb ram onboard, small as one coin

Oh no, embedded bloatware!
lol

Mind you, anyone who's played with WinCE already knows what that's
