The original documentation is something I don't think I have anywhere. It
was on the original Loadstone site and I didn't have control of that.
I'd really like to find a backup of that site, it would probably be good
to have the original at least for historical purposes. I may have a
tarball of some of this somewhere but I'm not sure.

Thank you very much - I'll have it soon.

Only if they also export data on multiple channels and the channel on
which
they provide NMEA output is the one with the greatest number.

I just added "&& iremotechannel == 255" to the logic that assigns the
channel
numberso that it always selects the first available rfcomm channel.
One glich remains which I'm going to fix now: Garmin GLO reports
subsecond
times which Loadstone does not understand, and keeps thinking that the
time is
always 00:00:00. Garmin's time string is something like HHMMSS.SUB where
SUB
is the subseconds part. When this is done, the receiver is fully
functional.
I have one final question: Is the original Loadstone's documentation
still
available somewhere. I would like to have it, even though I believe that
I can
use the software pretty well. There are some features that I don't use
and if
I once need them, the docs would be faster to read than Symbian C++.
I'm very grateful for all the help I received. I wish happy winter to
everybody (and some other season for all those who live onn a different
climate
zone than I).
