Getting Heading Data from a RTK GPS

Hello everyone,

Our team has been working a few days trying to get the steering correct on a Pixhawk controller and we have been confused about the heading data the ArduRover v2.49 uses.

We have a RTK receiver that will give a very accurate true heading when the vehicle is still.  So instead of using the 3DR GPS/compass model, we would like to use the heading data coming out of the GPS.  Is it possible for ArduRover to take the heading data directly from a GPS producing NEMA sentences?  We know that the Pixhawk is connecting to the GPS because we get a GPS lock.  I am pretty sure it is getting the course over ground data from our GPS but do not know what else it is doing.  It would be ideal if it used the PASHR sentence since it gives explicitly the heading information.    

Thank you for your time,

Bernard
