[OZAPRS] VK2 Network Update

[Shaun Pitcher]

Tony,

You are correct.  I read over it too fast.  I have set mine to $GPRMC as 
unless there is something really wrong the car should be on the road. 
While I know the road is not sea level the speed is more important to me 
than HASL

Regards,

Sorry Geoff and Shaun.. Not quite right as I see it..

> $GPRMC contains position and elevation.
> $GPGGA contains position and speed.

Check out this informative web site.

I think you will find GGA contains Altitude and position and RMC has Speed
and position amongst other things.. For APRS I generally use RMC and if 
the
devices are capable of more I will also run GGA as well ..
