For developers and testers using GPSSimul to simulate GPS NMEA 0183 data streams, understanding isolation is key when integrating simulated signals with physical marine networks. Although GPSSimul outputs standard NMEA 0183 sentences over PC serial ports, connecting these outputs to devices on an actual boat or test bench requires attention to isolation to prevent ground loop issues and signal corruption.
