Subject: Re: [aprssig] Nmea output
Sorry, I should have been more clearer on the "in-dash" gps/display"
units...
I meant the units that are install by the factories in their cars that
have the display screen in the dash where the radios and other units,
like the CD/Tape players and A/C controls are.. It looks like soon these
units may become "standard" equipment one day, and it sure would be nice
if we hams could interface our APRS equipment to the in-dash gps via a
rs-232 type of connector..
Thanks,
Robbie

Robbie,
Just after I acquired a 2006 Toyota Sienna I made the same inquiry.
Toyota referred me back to the local dealer who knows nothing. (I don't
think they want me messing behind the console.

Here is a link on how to do it with OnStar. I have not done it so can not
say if it works. <http://members.cox.net/onstar/>

Subject: [aprssig] Windows US Daylight Time Change Screwup Looming
Ever since Windows 95, Microsoft Windows has been able to automatically
adjust the computer system clock for daylight time each spring and fall.
Effective this year, U.S. Daylight Time will start 3 weeks earlier (1st
week of March instead of beginning of April),. As a result, the
automatic time change feature in Windows won't happen until 3 weeks
after the fact. As a result, files will be time-stamped with an error
of one hour for three weeks or more.
The patches below will fix Windows 2000 or XP to change on the new
earlier date.
Microsoft HAS offfered a patch for Windows XP but, as part of their
strategy of coercive forced upgrades, has refused to offer fixes for
earlier versions of Windows. There is no fix for Windows 95 /98/Me,
but there _is_ a fix for Windows 2000. Programmers in Europe, outside
the reach of the US Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DCMA) which makes
it a criminal offense to reverse-engineer software, have modified the
XP patcher to do the same thing for Windows 2000. [ Interestingly,
after the "underground" 2K patch started surfacing, MS suddenly started
offering a 2K fix to corporate accounts for a mere $5000.00 !!! ]
To apply the daylight time fix to either Windows 2000 or Windows XP,
click the link below to download the appropriate file. After
downloading, locate the file in your download folder and double-click it
to install. *
Note that these patches immediately reboot the computer after
installing, no questions asked. Make sure no other files or documents
are open or unsaved before you run the patch !!*
Go to:
* For the Windows 2000 patch, click the link "2007 Daylight Time
Fix for Windows 2000"
* For the Windows XP patch, click the link "2007 Daylight Time
Fix for Windows XP"

YES. Actually it also fixes serveral problems elsewhere in the world.
(The Windows registry provides for specifying time zone offsets and
daylight begin/end dates individually for each time zone of the world that
you can select in the Control Panel.)

To be fair, I'd love to see the patch for, say, Slackware 1.0. Sure,
a power user can fix it, but...
And anyone can run their computer on UTC, which avoids this problem
quite nicely, and has other advantages for ham radio operations.
