. I have a ham program which permits the use of the NMEA protocol. This wort
hy application includes a series =9Cstatements=9D which allow th
e GPS receiver to calculate your position, and other qualities. However, it w
as designed as  marine program, wherein ships don=99t usually change r
oute every few minutes as our aircraft might. Therefore, it is missing a sen
tence which allows for setting up a series of legs on a flight. This is eith
er RMB or RMC (I think the former - experts please correct). I have failed t
o discover a device - other than the multi-buck aircraft navs - which includ
e this vital sentence. For clarity why not consult Wikipedia, which explains
 it far better than I what the sentences are. It=99s marvellous - and s
houldn=99t leave anyone =98cold=99.
