[aprssig] Serial gps?

[Earl Needham]

Thanks, Tom!  Great info!  Guess I'll have to order both when I get home. 

Too bad it won't work with my Dezl 560, I already own that one!

No, not quite. The Nuvi 350 outputs Garmin binary format. You need a
translator cable to convert it to NMEA (it has a microcontroller
inside doing the conversion):
