Can somebody please set their III+ to text output and capture its
output for comparison with what's below?

I use my III+ text output for use with an encoding script in my
digital camera, but I think its output format has become scrambled
somehow.

Now I get (incorrect, I think):
@020315192354N4236570W08324276±014+00329E0000N0000U0000

The camera script used to work fine but this jibber is now what's
encoded - I think my GPS's marbles have come loose. The NMEA output is
still formatted correctly; I think it's just the text that's goofed up

(I sent this issue to Garmin: "Thank you for contacting Garmin. Please
make sure that the GPS III+ is set to NMEA in the interface and not
Text out." Gee, thanks!)

I appreciate the help!
