I, also, find the wiki to have a counter intuitive user interface and a
rather steep learning curve. I could learn it if I needed to use it
every day but for once a year usage it's a little too much.
I am not an expert on the NMEA or Atom drivers either. The GPS receiver
I have happens to be a Motorola Oncore so that's the only one I'm
really familiar with. My comments were based on general knowledge and a
quick glance at the C code for the NMEA driver.
