Reply to "GPS SYnc and another firmware upgrade."

Intrigued by the GPS syc as well I am making the attempt. I have found that my Garmin GPS can be configuered for different ouput streams. This was found on the Main Menu under Setup/Interface. I selected TEXT and was allowed to select a baud rate of 9600. Tested this with hyperterminal and saw the string with YYMMDDHHMMSS refresh every second. Connections from the GPS serial plug are DB9 pin 2 (data out from GPS, in for PC) pin 3 (data into GPS, out from PC) and pin 5 ground. I have tried to make the connection but no GPS Window appears as is claimed in the upgrade notes. This was tried with TIMY in Backup program. I have tried all other transmission selections from the GPS and could only select 9600 baud with a text out choice. Most others defaulted to 4800 baud. The string from my GPS looks like this
