Default Let's get rid of NMEA

It would be nice to be able to take a handheld gps, run ascii through a pic
and into a lcd without have to pay through the nose just for the
information to do this. Off the shelf stuff is fine for real applications
for your boat or plane. But why should we have to pay for the signal that
comes out of our units? Besides if the manufacturer did't have to pay
license fees themselves, maybe they would pass on the savings.
