Yo All!

Just got a new Globalsat MR-350 to go with my old Garmin GPS-18/LVC.

Both are RS-232 and both do PPS, but otherwise the MR-350 blows the
GPS-18 away.  The GPS-18 can not get a fix unless outside or directly
against a window and needs a clear sky view.  The MR-350 is in my
basement right now, seeing 10 satellites and reporting a horizontal
error of 10ft or better.

Now I just need to figure out why the latest gpsd svn  has broken PPS.

Dumb question, but you aren't using one of the Globalsat RS-232 or USB
cables, are you?  That would explain your problem with PPS (they don't
pass PPS through).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Nope.  I built my own cable.  And I have the same PPS problems with my
GPS-18/LVC, so I know it is not hardware related.  The PPS into gpsd
is just fine, it is the recent 'improvements' that hosed things.
