Referencing this page, there is a link to GPS1_TYPE, which as far as I can tell doesn't exist in any recent firmware. While I'm not familiar with the code, by my eye it should probably reference this param?

no, GPS_TYPE was changed to GPS1_TYPE in master(4.6), so wiki pages reflect that because only master params are hyperlinked...why its still shown,along with all the other old param names on the wiki 4.6 params page needs to be investigated however@peterbarker

Hwurzburg commented

the display of old param names was intentional to allow Mission Planner to show them for older firmware versions
