If you're planning on using gpsd with a Garmin receiver, make sure you
use version 2.39 or later. Previous versions probably won't work. The
NMEA sentences were coming out on my 16x-HVS more than 500ms away from
the PPS, and this caused it to not use the PPS value.
I verified by source inspection that the issue was fixed in version 2.39.
