Which PIC are you intending? We are hoping to use one of our IFI controllers from 2005 -8. I think they have something like a PIC 18f877 or ??
I appreciate your intent for simple, however, NMEA0183 is a widely followed standard, and eventually I want to get there, since Garmin, Trimble, Sparkfun etc put out those strings. I do see where Kevin Watson has played with the binary output of the SiRF based chips, but I don't have one of those, and I do have literally a dozen NMEA0183 units - some with very good accuraccy.
Am I missing something with not trying to track down the SiRF binary output??
