PPS is tied to DCD. So online is off 90 % of the time.
With the following circuit you can configure the GPS receiver;
Garmin Minicom
Male Female
9P 25P
RXD-----RXD 2 3
TXD-----TXD 3 2
GND-----GND 5 7
+-DCD 1 8
|
*-DTR 4 20

+-DSR 6 6
+-CTS 7 5

+-RTS 8 4

My Garmin was sending to much data, sending a NMEA sentence once per
second. So I put '$PGRMO,,4<CR><LF>' in a file and send it to the Garmin.
Now it's at six lines per second; GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA and three GPGSV
lines (plus one PGRMT per minute).

Rob
