typically have a defined serial output protocol
called NMEA 0183. NMEA 0183 is an interface
protocol created by the National Marine
Electronics Association (http://www.nmea.org/).
The NMEA 0183 Standard defines electrical
signal requirements, data transmission protocol,
timing and specific sentence formats for a 4800
baud serial data bus.
The primary advantage of this data string when
used with P15 is that data is separated with
commas. Since P15 only interprets and decodes
numerical values the commas are treated as data
delimiters resulting in each navigation value
residing in a unique input location.
Two common message strings that come out of
GPS receivers are the GGA and VTG
messages. The GGA message includes time,
position and fix related data for the GPS
receiver. The VTG message conveys the
actual track made good and the speed relative
to the ground. Example are listed below.
EXAMPLES:
GGA Position String - 63 characters including CRLF
