NMEA 0183 sentences It has insufficient decimals to work with OpenCPN
#1
With Openplotter 0.9.0 + RPI3 + BMP180
In OpenCPN the XDR or MDA sentenece is presumed to use Bar units as stated in forth part of the sentence: $IIXDR,P,1.011,B,Barometer,*a Here: 1.011, B = Bar.
In OpenCPN dashboard this value is transformed to view it as 1011 mBar or hPascal.
Now Openplotter 0.9.0 generates values with up to 2 decimal places, but for the pressure we need at least 3 decimals (best 5)
Now 1045.34 hPa become 1040hPa. Confused
