Project 1999 Info
EQGPS does not interact with the Everquest client at all. The information it uses is entirely from the log file and the maps it's configured to use.
If you are concerned about whether using EQGPS would constitute a violation of the Project 1999 rules, be sure to check the current global server rules.
As of 10/3/2015, the global server rules (image) permit the use of EQGPS.
Third Party Tools, Exploiting
Project 1999 severely disallows and actively tracks players who use Third Party Programs / Cheating.
Any program that provides an unintended advantage or gleams access to information not otherwise available is very strictly prohibited.
Any program that interacts, inspects, or modifies the Everquest client in any way is not allowed.
Note that the programs "Macroquest" and "ShowEQ", or any program that behaves like them, are strictly disallowed.
Project 1999 uses anti-cheat software to detect this type of behavior. The effort put forth to catch this is much more active than anything Sony has done on Live Everquest. Players caught breaking this rule are permanently banned.
WinEQ2 by Lavishsoft is the only program with an exception to this rule.
Programs that provide audible ques or overlay information by only reading the Everquest Log Files are currently allowed.
As of 9/10/2012 3rd party programs that parse log files are allowed under the Project 1999 rules.
