Can anyone verify that the GPS-5 talks NMEA-0183,

I should mention that of the two data out lines, only one is
active (toggles), the other seems to be a 'return' and static
at +5V. I will invert the data stream and see if it makes

GROUND! If anyone just "hooks it up" that +5 to ground might destroy it.
