New GPS application note - Frank Manning - Oct 21 21:03:00 2002

A new BX-24 application note was added to the BasicX web site:

http://www.basicx.com/Products/BX-24/bx-24appnotes.htm

The app note shows you how to decode text data from a Garmin GPS
receiver, such as eTrex or similar receivers. Serial data is
decoded and loaded into BasicX floating point variables for
position and velocity fixes. GPS-derived time is also decoded.
Source code is included.

The text format is a Garmin proprietary format called simple text
output protocol, and is documented here:

You need to change the file name for the GPS file on the App Note menu- it
still has the name of the Sharp IR ranger file, although the file link is
correct for the GPS file.

OK, we corrected the filename. Thanks for letting us know.
