I was able to open the U-Blox port on my GPS dongle and parse the longitude and latitude, printing the information in the streaming output for the user to see. I wanted a simple way to export latitude and longitude from a GPS USB dongle to the terminal.
Also showing the Satellites its fixed to, and the satellites its attached to in the circle.
## Sample GUI Output ## Usage
