Hi Randy,
 
I have seen at least one GPS (Panasonic) that sends 5 digitis after the  
decimal point for position in NMEA, and at least one commercial navigation  
program for PDA's that cannot handle 5 digits!

They hard-coded the parsing routine to be "stupid" enough to  always expect 4 
digits, and it crashes when they receive 5 digits of  precision...
 
bye,
Said
