Hello all,
I've written a little PDA application to use for collecting biological
field data and linking it with GPS data. I am using a Garmin GPS10. In
addition to the standard NMEA format strings, there are also
proprietary strings that report sensor status data as well: temperature,
as well as a variety of processor diagnostic fields.
My question is this: Does anyone know if other bluetooth GPS devices have
similar sensor status output that includes battery charge state of the
device? My application has a field for battery state of the device, I'd
really like to add one for the remote sensor as well.
Thanks.
Glenn

Sorry for the confusion.
