The "Nuvi News?" post that I made yesterday somehow lost part of the first paragraph! See below for a more complete copy of Scott's message from over on the APRS SIG.
73 es cul - Keith VE7GDH -- "I may be lost, but I know exactly where I am!" ____________________________________________________ The rumour from Garmin is that by the end of the year there should be an update out for the Nuvi 1200, 1300, and 1400 series that'll support waypoint display. But NOT, presumably, using the same (legacy) protocol as the Nuvi 350. Beyond that, I know nothing of the new protocol and whether it'll really work for APRS, so I'm not making any promises. I do have a 1300 sitting here ready to go the moment Garmin posts the new firmware. Assuming they don't do anything stupid with it (like the FMI v2 protocol's use of undocumented file formats and inability to upload individual POIs), you can expect an update to the Tracker2 to support it within 48 hours. (Maybe less. Starbucks gift card contributions will tend to speed the process up.) I'm holding off on a revised GTRANS cable until I'm sure the protocol will be usable. The current boards should work with the newer units, but they need a resistor change and it could really use an extra ground connection for the power lead. I also have to source 5v switching power supplies still. Scott N1VG
