GPGGA Global Position System Fix Data

Time, position and fix-related data of the GPS receiver. The information contained in this log is also available in

the NovAtel GGAB log in binary format. This log will output all null data fields until the GPSCard has set fine

time as monitored by the receiver status word, see Table D-5 Receiver Self-Test Status Codes on Page198, bits

8,9 and 10.)

Structure:
1 The maximum age reported here is limited to 99 seconds.
2 An indicator of 9 has been temporarily set for WAAS. Then NMEA standard for WAAS has not been decided yet.
