Can we get an updated AssetTracker library?

Thanks @rickkas7,

That is very helpful, however kind of goes back to the issue of requiring more in-depth knowledge when I thought Particle was going to be the more friendly learning curve.

I know to those of you who are totally in your comfort zone here, I probably sound like someone who wants it all done for them... but I had a program I liked, then I realized the GPS output was very rough, had to learn a bit about why, then had to go away from the Web IDE (which is super convenient and awesome for beginners), now I need to update the firmware (without the nice firmware manager -- still on 0.5.2b), will have to port my code to Dave's library or vice versa... at the end of it all, sure I'll be more knowledgeable, but there are many who probably wouldn't have bothered to keep trying.

So, from where I'm sitting an AssetTracker that better handled the NMEA sentences would be very welcome.

This is the issue I'm referring to:

Default example for Asset Tracker GPS prints erratic NMEA sentences to serial

My Asset Shield and Electron seems to be working fine as far as publishing GPS coordinates. But when I made a serial connection to COM3: (9600,N,8,1) the output seemed erratic like bits and pieces were missing. I stepped down the transfer rate to 2400, just to make sure I wasn’t losing data, but that didn’t seem to make the problem better or worse. I added some more strings to the main loop of the default 1-gps-features.ino example. The text I added always comes across the same, which is good,…
