I vaguely remember Dave saying that the Road Angel had Sirf. How can you get TT2 to use the Sirf onboard the Road Angel and would it be any better that NMEA?



Cheers

Did I ? I don't believe you can use SiRF. In theory the GPS inside the Road Angel is a Holux receiver, so I suppose it's possible, but it depends on what the Road Angel is programmed to output (which I believe is NMEA). The changes you would see would be miniscule, the main change though is faster updates which can mean many more GPS unreliable messages from TomTom and other apps.

Road angel puts out a 9600bps or a 4800bps (depends on firmware in roadangel) NMEA 183v2 signal but without signal strength info so it does work but the signal meter in the software doesn't...not a great hardship.
