Forbid? I tried to explain why things are the way they are. This does
not mean that it has to stay like this. If there is a better receiver
solution, please post it! There seems to be some code to use NMEA and
it would be interesting to see flight test data with other receivers.
Just be aware that changing the GPS receiver is a big change in the
entire system that has to be considered well.
