GSV GPS Satellites in View
Number of satellites (SV) in view, PRN numbers, elevation,
azimuth and SNR value. Four satellites maximum per transmis-
sion, additional satellite data sent in second or their
message. Total number of messages being transmitted and the
number of messages being transmitted is indicated in the
first two fields.

Notes: 1) Satellite information may require the transmission
of multiple messages. The first field specifies the total
number of messages, minimum value 1. The second field iden-
tifies the order of this message (message number), minimum
value 1.
2) A variable number of “PRN-Elevation-Azimuth-SNR” sets are
allowed up to a maximum of four sets per message. Null
fields are not required for unused sets when less than four
sets are transmitted.
