<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Doing some more work on a tracker here, in ASM
for the 16F628</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I worked out my GPS18 does degrees minutes and
decimal minutes </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am not sure what it will do in those areas
where the degrees goes less than 3 and two digits, as I am at -2700.0000 and
15300.0000</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Can anyone help me to make my track "universal"
by supplying some NMEA examples of a GPS 18</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At the moment I see</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> 2700.0000</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>15300.0000</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My question is, does the GPS 18 zero pad ? when
it gets to be smaller than two digits, assuming 90 is the largest and 180 is
the largest</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>,0600.0000, or ,600.0000, (-90 to +90) 6
degrees</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>,08700.0000, or ,8700.0000, (-180 to +180) 87
