Thank you very much for posting this. It's the kind of little glitch
that
could kill a boat. It's also an excellent illustration of why you should
have a secondary source of situational awareness always engaged.

Would you or someone else please post a description of a way, if there is
one, to get a computer to read and record the NEMA sentences as you did?
I
would like to try this with my 76Cx. If many of us start bombarding
Garmin
with similar results, they are more likely to do something.

Hi Roger, If you'd like me to I'll email you a Hyper Terminal file
that reads the output of NEMA data form your GPS into the serial port
of your computer. It only holds 500 lines in the buffer so thats only
about 8 minutes of data but you can "capture text" from the screen for
as long as you would like as far as I know. I didn't test it.
