You previously sent some example GPGGA sentences, but I haven't seen
any GPRMC sentences from your GPS or from gpsd using your setup.
Can you send an example or two?

GPGGA sentences have altitude but no speed/course.  GPRMC has
speed/course but no altitude.  I think I may have GPGGA functioning
ok now for your (somewhat screwy) GPS, but the speed/course parsing
may need some tweaking now.
