the nmea package is a for reading nmea standard data from a serial port or file. it supports logging serial data to a file and playing it back at a variable rate. there are no gps specific functions in this module, it is more of a support library for an eventual gps module. the nmea protocol supports many devices besides gps although that is the most well known one.

documentation is at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/nmea.html
