R help - May 2000 - GPS data import into R

Hi all,  
before I develop my own routines, is there a package or 
library for loading Global Positioning System (GPS) sentences 
into R for analysis?

If not, I plan to try to write a routine to listen to 
a GPS signal, strip off the identification codes, and then 
*do something interesting* with the data, such as plot the 
three-dimensional drift statistics.  (Obviously the interesting
stuff can be done with existing R packages.)

Any tips or hints on loading NMEA sentences would be appreciated.

This sounds pretty interesting.  I can;t offer any help, but I''d
like to hear about what you come up with.
