gHowl_GPS coming soon!

We have been testing a new set of gHowl components at Smart Geometry 2011 which will add certain GPS related functions to Grasshopper, including a KML Exporter which allows a dynamic link to Google Earth.  Current components include:

Format_GPS: Takes NMEA Formatted GPS Latitude and Longitude values and converts them to Decimal Degrees.  Will add further converters.

GPS->XYZ: Maps Longitude, Latitude, and Altitude to XYZ.

XYZ->GPS: Maps XYZ to Longitude, Latitude, and Altitude.

KML_Export: Exports imported geometry to KML format.  Currently implemented for points, curves, and meshes.  Any Breps should be meshed before.  Will be adding conditions for other geometry as well as render styles.

Look forward to a WIP release next week.
