[aprssig] Argent Garmin/NMEA translator docs?

All of the existing docs are on the product page.  So far there hasn't 
been a whole lot to document.

Yes, provided it'll supply about 500 mA to cover the nuvi's internal 
battery charging.

> 1) What the Argent Garmin/NMEA translator actually does

It translates between NMEA (including Kenwood PKWDWPL sentences) and the 
proprietary Garmin binary format.

I'll see if I can post the board layout later with the pin assignments. 
  The symbol translations are the same as the Tracker2, which I've sent 
you before I think, minus the custom symbols.  See the table starting at 
line 23 here:
