The --garmin= protocol outputs basic NMEA strings with some (a) garmin
extension.
What I am implementing is the ARNAV format which I've also heard called the
AV400 format or RS-232 Type 1.
There is a set of messages that the Garmin 295/296/400/430/530/etc. emit. I
previously implmented this message set which you can activate with the
--AV400=[...] option. This works for driving a Garmin 295/296 gps.
However, the 400/430/530 gps expect a different command set from the
simulator which is what I have implemented.
Regards,
Curt.
