I asked a month or so ago about the Nuvi 350 connected to my Alinco DR-135 with 
a T2-135 board not displaying all of the course/speed/altitude data from 
received packets.  Scott responded that the Nuvi won't show that data when the 
received packets are from a mic-E or Base91 transmission.  OK, that's just the 
way it is with the Nuvi. My question is, however, can that information be 
extracted and displayed on the Nuvi some other way?  The information is tin the 
packet afterall.

I ask because with a friend I've recently flown a couple of high altitude 
balloons with a Kenwood HT and an OT+.  That's mic-E and I can't see the 
altitude nor the course / speed.  The Nuvi displays very well the location of 
the balloon over the ground just not the 'nice to know' altitude info.  We work 
around this by using a Kenwood D7 HT which does show the wanted info.

Thanks,
