5.4.4 GSV - GNSS Satellites in View
This sentence reports the number of satellites (SV) in view, satellite ID numbers, elevation, azimuth
and SNR value.
There could be four satellites information per transmission so, if the number of satellites in view is
bigger, separated GSV sentences will be generated. The number of sentence in transmission and the
total to be transmitted is shown in the first 2 fields of the sentence.
Table G contains the values for the following example:
$GPGSV,2,1,07,07,79,048,42,02,51,062,43,26,36,256,42,27,27,138,42*71
$GPGSV,2,2,07,09,23,313,42,04,19,159,41,15,12,041,42*41
