Sorry for confusion - my guy Orzo was battling to get any data at all 
and switching between sats avail and sats used hence how he got mixed up...

Basically we are after reporting sats used but using var in gpslib it's 
not there using this partial NMEA feed.

Orzo is suggesting the attached patch but he's not 100% happy with it...

Maybe an option would be to add new variable like gga_sats_used and then 
application code could choose to use this if normal sats used=0

Please cast your expert eye

Thanks and regards

Nick
