[Q]: How to extract data from GPS by using VB6

[basyarie]

Hello All,
I`d like to introduce myself.
I`m basyarie, now is student of university.
Nice to meet you all.
I`m beginner in this discussion community.

Just want to ask about VB6 for GPS application.
How to extract data from GPS (for example with Pioneer GPS M1zz).
Can I do it? How to do?
Because there are at least 5 format sentences: RMC, VTG, GGA, GSA, ZDA.
I want to extract Longitude, Latitude and Direction data from GPS into the computer (VB6) to control some instruments.

I hope somebody can help me.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
basyarie
