Thanks for your contribution. It is much appreciated.

What would be helpful is information about the observed performance of
these inexpensive OEM GPS units. I've added a plot of my GPS-18LVC
performance under less than optimum conditions and a snapshot of your
daily MRTG plot for pixie to
http://support.ntp.org/Support/GarminGPS18LVCPerformance

Would you mind updating that topic so that is shows the version of
FreeBSD you currently have in use?

BTW: It would be interesting to run a loopstats file from pixie through
my plotting tool and get a closer look at your GPS performance.
