GPS16X-HVS GPS Receiver
4. GPS Data
The GPS16X-HVS has several data formats available. The GPS16X-HVS is
configured to output the NMEA $GPGGA and $GPRMC time and position
string. It is possible to configure the GPS16X-HVS to output other NMEA
strings including the $GPVTG track made good and ground speed string. See
Appendix A for details.
4.1 $GPGGA Sentence (Position and Time)
Sample NMEA $GPGGA data string:
$GPGGA,hhmmss,llll.lll,a,nnnnn.nnn,b,t,uu,v.v,w.w,M,x.x,M,y.y,zzzz*hh<CR><LF>
TABLE 4-1. NMEA $GPGGA String Definition
Field Description
