Detect output type of GPS unit
Does anyone know of a way to have a Stamp chip application detect the output type of a GPS unit before capturing data?· For example is the GPS output in plain text or NMEA or a proprietary type.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The string from nearly all common GPS units is NMEA compatible, in ASCII characters and may include special strings based on which manufacturer you're connected to.
Just hook the GPS to Hyperterminal and have a look!
