INTRODUCTION
NMEA 0183 is a simple, yet comprehensive ASCII protocol which was originally
established to allow marine navigation equipment to share information. Since it is
a well established industry standard, NMEA 0183 has also gained popularity for
use in applications other than marine electronics. The DR+GPS NMEA output
supports NMEA 0183 version 2.3.
For those applications requiring output only from the GPS receiver, NMEA 0183
is a popular choice since, in many cases, an NMEA 0183 software application
code already exists. The DR+GPS is available with firmware that supports a
subset of the NMEA 0183 messages: GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, and VTG.
