[aprssig] Garmin NUVI & messaging?

[Scott Miller]

Firmware version 1.4 is shipping now, and includes support for the 
FTM-350's packet mode and FMI 2.5 and above.

An undocumented feature of the GTRANS is that it can parse KPC-3 style 
'monitor' output and not just waypoint strings.  It took a minor change 
to get it to handle the header format of the FTM-350 as well.

There's still no way to do messaging through the GTRANS, though.  For 
that you'll need a Tracker2.
