How does xastir behave if there are multiple GPS interfaces active?
Any problems?
It will probably keep shifting your position a bit as it decodes one
and then the other. If you've told Xastir that you're a mobile
station then it might cause trouble as it toggles between the two.
SmartBeaconing will get confused and perhaps cause a lot of
transmits if you have it enabled.
I did peruse the code a bit (db.c), and it almost looks like the
waypoint code is buried behind a proximity alert message:
Yes. That's so you don't try to send 30,000 waypoint messages to
your GPS. You can set the size of the proximity circle so that you
only send nearby stations to it.
