You could simply use an external tool to convert the raw NMEA sentences (either GGA or RMC) to KML, e.g. gpsconv (http://velaa.ve.funpic.de/gpsconv.htm).
Alternatively, I’ll be supporting V2.4 hardware in the next release of my alternative firmware (http://gpslogger.blogspot.com/) [although, I won’t be supporting some of the V2.4 firmware features, e.g. hold-off time]. I’ve already got my firmware running on V2.4, just a matter of testing and polishing.
Next release expected within 4-6 weeks. Progress reported at http://gpslogger.blogspot.com/.
Wow! Look at that action! I’m going to quit qwriting firmware for this thing and let you do it.
OK, not really. That’s what I get paid for, so I guess I ought to keep doing it. But I want to tell you how gratified I am that some one is doing this sort of thing. Very cool.
Also, FWIW, we’ve got new firmware out. We’re now WAAS enabled.
