Format 90 (NMEA)

   

Provides a position data stream in NMEA 0183 GPGGA GPS Fix data format. The Format 90 data structure is shown below:


$GPGGA,HHMMSS.SS,ddmm.mmmm,n,dddmm.mmmm,c,Q,SS,YY.y,+AAAAA.a,M,,,,*CC CR LF


CHARACTER DESCRIPTOR:
$GP GPS System Talker
GGA GPS Fix Data Message
HHMMSS.SS Latest time of Position Fix, UTC. This field is blank until a 3D fix is acquired
ddmm.mmmm,n Latitude
dd degress, 00...90
mm.mmmm minutes, 00.0000....59.9999
n direction, N = North, S = South
ddmm.mmmm,e Longitude
ddd degress, 000...180
mm.mmmm minutes, 00.0000....59.9999
e direction, E = East, W = West
Q Quality Indicator (0 = No 3D fix, 1 = 3D fix)
SS Number of satellites tracked, 0...8
YY.y Dilution of precision, 00.0...99.9
+AAAAA.a,M Antenna height in meters, referenced to mean sea level
,,,, Fields for geoidal separation and differential GPS not supported
CC Check sum message, HEX 00...7F Check sum calculated by Xoring all bytes between $ and *.
CR Carriage Return
LF Line Feed
