but not getting valid position data. <BR><BR>I saw this very problem on an
early revision TH-D7E - it was due to the NMEA sentence from my GPS having
positions with 4 decimal places and the D7 only being able to handle 3 decimal
places. I proved this by creating a PIC based lash up that stripped the
4 decimal place - probably got the code somewhere if you are that way
inclined. <BR><BR>I contacted Kenwood UK who were happy to upgrade the
firmware in my D7 - free of charge too - great service! If you can
locate an older Garmin they have the shorter precision and should work
OK.<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Corrie<BR>M0XDK<BR><BR><BR>
