C.4.4 GSV – GPS Satellites in View

The GSV message identifies the GPS satellites in view, including their PRN number, elevation, azimuth and SNR value. Each message contains data for four satellites. Second and third messages are sent when more than four satellites are in view. Fields #1 and #2 indicate the total number of messages being sent and the number of each message respectively.
