GPS Data
The Garmin16-HVS has several data formats available.
The Garmin16-HVS is
configured to output the NEMA $GPGGA time and position string.
It is
possible to configure the Garmin16-HVS to output other NEMA strings
including the $GPVTG track made good and ground speed string.
See
Appendix D for details.
Sample NEMA $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>
