NMEA is simply ASCII data that you can read from a terminal or save to a file. The GPS will write out the same set of lines every second. On some GPSes you can control whthe subset of lines that are written to cut down the clutter. To the OP. The Oncore type GPSes use a non-NMEA format that is binary and not human readable but I think can be put into "NMEA Mode" and then the above applies. Also, the NMEA format is documented in an expensive book that is copyrighted by NMEA but you can find descriptions on-line if you use Google. Motorola's format is well docmented in free PDF files you can download -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
