A method for enabling a single antenna and a single GPS or other receiver to transmit GPS data to multiple software applications is disclosed herein. A GPS satellite transmits GPS data to a GPS receiver through an antenna. The GPS data travels to a GPS splitter, where the GPS data is transmitted to a GPS utility data collection application and to another GPS application. The software applications can be on a single or on multiple computers. The GPS signals may also be split into multiple streams internal to a single computer.
