NMEA uploads

[sbarar@…]

Right now we have to convert our nmea file to gpx using gpsbabel. Is it possible to:
either - directly incorporate upload of nmea files
or - incorporate gpsbabel to convert to gpx from various type of file formats?

I have already implemented NMEA import functionality. I added a new class named org.openstreetmap.josm.io.NmeaReader and added some code to org.openstreetmap.josm.actions.ExtensionFileFilter and org.openstreetmap.josm.actions.OpenAction to acheive that.
I would like to submit this to the project but don't have an account capable of committing code.

You can submit a patch right here. No need for an account.

Sorry - I can't post the patches and the new file here (neither as Attachments nor as plain text content) - Trac doesn't accept them and always produces errors. Is there any other way for sending them in?

New class to add NMEA functionality

Well, I succeeded today with uploading the files, at last.
I have tested the NMEA functionality with files generated by a Royaltek RBT-2300 Data Logger. Only lines starting with "$GPRMC" are processed, and number format errors are ignored silently. Maybe there could be a better way for signalling wrong data, but this first approach works fine for correct NMEA input files.

This adds support for parsing NMEA-0183 files

I didn't know such a patch existed and so I did my own. It's able to handle the nmea-traces I did and also puts them on a track. I get the same result importing my NMEA direct or converting it to GPX (via gpsbabel) and importing it then.

Patch that merges the two patches. Should work correct now
