Windows: GNSS functions like in Android app

[nk63]

To use DGNSS devices in connection with mobile Windows PC's it would be nice to have the Android functions for GNSS connectivity also in Windows to support mobile mapping.

Which functions do you want exactly? Doesn't the DGNSS device integrate into Windows location providers?

[nk63]

In Windows application of omapper it is not possible to configure an existig port for DGNSS (provided by u-blox u-center) and switch the DGNSS on. Also the writing of track and the placement at recent position is not available.
The procedure should be the same as in OCAD:

There is some extra NMEA support since #1577.
But I can hardly test these parts.

I selected under settings/sensors "NMEA (Qt)" and the connected COM-Port (selection of "Windows" also doesn't work) . There is no reaction of the system. What should to be see if the system works properly? Is there any opportunity to check the datastream from GNSS to omapper?
Maybe I can test it, if you have not the necessary hardware.

I see, the "NMEA (OpenOrienteering)" polyfill isn't supported for Windows. "NMEA (Qt)" is limited to a particular bitrate IIRC.
