GPS100 Firmware Versions

2.0.2 (2010-02-11)

  -   Updated the magnetic variation function to use the new WMM2010 coefficients.

      This corrects a problem where magnetic variation is not available, which causes true

             heading readings to be unavailable or missing

2.0.1 (2009-03-23)
       -    Adds support for version 2 of the GPS hardware

 -    Updates GPS chipset firmware to a newer version

1.6.14 (2009-03-04)

-    Added support for the device to be labeled with a text string, making it easily identifiable in N2KView and DSM250

-    Added ability to change the transmission rate of periodic messages

1.6.13 (2008-08-07)

-    Corrected occasional GPS unlocks

1.6.10 (2008-04-22)

-    Execute SiRF factory reset (clear BSAM and RTC) on every system reset

-    Execute SiRF factory reset when SiRF bad date detected

1.6.9 (2008-04-08)

-    Corrected a problem when the GPS would sometimes report a date 19 years in the future

-    Made Date/Time data available only after valid satellites are detected

1.6.8  (2008-03-03)

      -     Corrected a  problem which would cause the GPS to stop transmitting certain messages under certain conditions.

1.6.7 (2007-05-07)
