Garmin ADSB+ Format 1 and Format 2

Charlie Waffles brought this to my attention since I wrote the Navworx AMOC for the Garmin GPS position source.

I upgraded to 6.41 after I worked on the AMOC. At that time, the only choices were ADSB and ADSB+. After upgrading to 6.41, there is now an ADSB+ Format 1 and an ADSb+ Format 2. The question that I was asked was which one of these are the right option for the AMOC. This caught me totally off guard.

I check my GTN 650 tonight. After the 6.41 upgrade what was ADSB+ was changed to ADSB+ Format 1.

A question for g3xexpert is my assumption that Format 1 the same as the original ADSB+? Then what is different with Format 2 and what requires that setting?
 
I was just informed by a non-Garmin source that Format 2 is something Garmin made for their GDL 82 device.

So if you're looking for ADSB+, select ADSB+ Format 1.
