Default Volkslogger Data Problem explained in detail.

I posted this on the UK site, I'm wondering if you can send the $PGRMI
sentence to the VL and initialise the epoch correctly.

=================

Did some research on this and found the manual for the GPS 25 board in the
Volkslogger.

On page 16 para 4.1.1 it describes the almanac resetting procedure.
Sentence $GPALM

Page 17 para 4.1.2 describes $PGRMI which can be used to set the UTC date
and time.

So ... how do we hook up a terminal emulator to the GPS board, when the VL
goes into PC mode is it possible to send the NMEA sentences to the GPS.

I don't have a VL any more, but it seems like a problem worth solving.
