I have developed a piece of software which is capable to feed NMEA/GPS sentences over UDP, TCP and serial ports. It generates NMEA output based on your keystrokes (setting speed, altitude and direction). It's available for download at:
http://www.pocketfms.com/Downloads/Program/EasySim_V041.zip
A manual is included.
Since PilotAware can listen on UDP port 2001 for NMEA/GPS sentences you can use this tool to test PilotAware without being in the air or driving with you car. For sake of arbitrary speed and altitude of this tool I successfully chased an airliner which was received by the DVBT dongle to trigger a traffic alert.
Let me know if any enhancements are needed to optimize the output for testing PilotAware.
Happy Landings

Nice, I like that a lot.
So I could simulate the effect of flying into the path of other aircraft in order to test the collision detection algorithms in EasyVFR, SD etc?
That is cool, I will test that out
Many Thx

Yes, that's correct.
For EasyVFR you need the latest beta version, unfortunately I don't have it.
Have fun
