Not quite correct... GP is the prefix for GPS receivers. NMEA is about many more instruments that you connect together in a serial net onboard your boat. There is echofinder, radar, compass, displays, velocity log, etc that want to share/display information from the various electronic sensors onboard boats. > > I have since found out that the 'PM' message series is a proprietary > code > dedicated to Magellan.

They use the same as everyone else, when they want to send stuff that does not fit into the predefined GPS-messages. PMXXX is also NMEA, but as said a "nonstandard" message. -- Björn > The good news is that, at least for now, it's no longer necessary > because > I got the Odetics working (see earlier posts) by reflow-soldering the > multi-legged fuses on the receiver board. > > Keep the peace(es). > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Bruce Lane, Owner & Head Hardware Heavy, > Blue Feather Technologies -- http://www.bluefeathertech.com > kyrrin (at) bluefeathertech do/t c=o=m > "If Salvador Dali had owned a computer, would it have been equipped with > surreal ports?" > > > _______________________________________________ > time-nuts mailing list > time-nuts@febo.com > https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts > _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
