UPM support for the U-BLOX 6 GPS module. It is also compatible with the SIM28 GPS module.

        // Instantiate a Ublox6 GPS device on uart 0
        upm_ublox6.Ublox6 nmea = new upm_ublox6.Ublox6(0);

        // make sure port is initialized properly. 9600 baud is the default.
        if (!nmea.setupTty()) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to setup tty port parameters");
        }

        // Collect and output NMEA data. There are various libraries out on
        // the Internet, that can handle decoding NMEA data and presenting
        // it in a more easily accessible format. This example will just
        // check for, and read raw NMEA data from the device and output it
        // on standard output.

        // This device also supports numerous configuration options, which
        // you can set with writeData(). Please refer to the Ublox-6 data
        // sheet for further information on the formats of the data sent and
        // received, and the various operating modes available.

        byte[] nmeaBuffer = new byte[BUFFERLENGTH];

        while (true) {
            // we don't want the read to block in this example, so always
            // check to see if data is available first.
            if (nmea.dataAvailable()) {
                int rv = nmea.readData(nmeaBuffer);

                if (rv > 0)
                    for (int i = 0; i < rv; i++)
                        System.out.print((char) nmeaBuffer[i]);

                if (rv < 0) { // some sort of read error occurred
                    System.err.println("Port read error.");
                    break;
                }
                continue;
            }

            Thread.sleep(1000);
        }
