GPS receiver data out is in UART (TTL3.3v) communication. Data received from GPS via UART conected to ARM through UART0. Processed data fed to the PC via BlueBoard's UART1. But my laptop having only USB. This problem solved by RS232 to USB convertor. GPS data to be linked to the Google Earth by any bridge software (earthbridge). Now the position showing in google earth according to gps data. In google Earth we can save the track,map,trip etc in XML formal and can be share with others by email. National Marine Electronics Association NMEA  has developed a specification that defines the interface between various pieces of marine
