  Description     : NMEA-0183 (GPS data) multiplexer

kplex reads GPS information from a UDP or TCP port or a serial
device and then (depending on the configuration) can write the
information into files, broadcast again to UDP addresses, serve again on
a TCP port, etc. It also allows to filter strings or add the timestamp.

Why is this package useful/relevant? I used kplex in the Antarctic
Circumnavigation Expedition 2016-2017 (ACE 2016) during 4 months for
saving the GPS from the bridge into text files and serve again to other
software. It's mature, worked perfectly well, it's feature complete. If
Debian had kplex it would have been a bit easier for us to install,
manage, etc.

I didn't find any other package with the same functionality (not in
Debian or outside Debian).
