Basic support for the Magellan interface protocol turns out to be pretty easy - way easier than Garmin, anyway. I don't happen to have a Magellan GPS receiver for testing, though, so I'm hoping someone out there has a reasonably recent Meridian or SporTrak (with data cable) that they could loan me for a week or so to test Magellan protocol support in the Tracker2. I'll offer the same deal I've been giving for the Garmin loaners - a free OpenTracker kit, or credit toward the Tracker2 when it's available. I'm hoping this won't even have to be a configuration option, and I'll be able to send Magellan format waypoints ($PMGNWPL) along with the NMEA output, so you'll be able to plug in any (non-USB) Magellan receiver and get altitudes, comments, and symbols instead of just dots and names. And if you've already responded with an offer of a Garmin and I haven't gotten back to you, don't worry - I'm still working my way through the list. Thanks! Scott N1VG
