0x42 Report Packet 42

Single-Precision Position Fix, XYZ ECEF Report

This packet provides current GPS position fix in XYZ ECEF coordinates. If the I/O "position" option is set to "XYZ ECEF" and the I/O "precision-of-position output" (Packet 35) is set to single- precision, and the packet is masked for output by packet 8E-4D, then the GPS receiver sends this packet each time a fix is computed. The data format is shown below.

The time-of-fix is in GPS time or UTC as selected by the I/O "timing" option. At start-up, this packet or packet 83 is also sent with a negative time-of-fix to report the current known position. Packet 83 provides a double-precision version of this information.
