# PosiView Plugin

PosiView tracks multiple vehicles and moving objects reporting

their position via USBL, GPS or other navigation devices.

## Features

The Plugin reads usually NMEA formatted data from USBL or other navigation devices

and displays the object as scaled symbol on the canvas.

Additionally the positions are displayed in several docked windows.

The main intention of this plugin is to turn QGIS into a navigation software

for underwater devices.

## Installation

### via git

* Clone the repository

* Execute "make deploy"

### via repo server

* Go to plugin manager and install PosiView

## Quickstart

* Enable plugin

* Open configuration dialog

* Create one or more dataprovider and select a suitable parser

* Create one or more mobiles/vehicles and assign the corresponding dataprovider

* Start tracking

* In the guidance dock select the vehicles to see distance and heading

## Future extensions

* Datalogging

* Logging events/targets on a seperate (gpx-)layer

## License
