I'm very curious. I've now seen 2 postings with 2 different GPS modules
(this one, and the Navman) which supposedly emulate Motorola Binary
mode. These should (as confirmed above??) allow the use of these with
WinOnCore and directly with NTP, assuming that enough of the protocol is
emulated to allow drop-in replacement. Has anyone tried this, including
setting TRAIM, satellite angle, etc with WinOnCore in MotBin mode, and
seeing the performance (especially in comparison to Native TSIP or
Jupiter Binary)?

I'd consider using these to replace some of my aging UT+ Oncores.....
