! NMEA Out - supports the input/output of standard NMEA 0183 version 2.3 data.

! None - provides no interfacing capabilities.

! DGPS RTCM/NMEA - allows Differential GPS (DGPS) input using a standard RTCM format and
also provides NMEA 0183 version 2.3 data.

! DGPS RTCM In - allows a standard RTCM DGPS input and other baud rates (besides 4800),

without any output capabilities.
