6.2 NMEA output messages
NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) communications protocol is used for most
navigation devices as the common standard interface protocol to transmit data. The messages
below adhere to NMEA 0183 v.2.2 protocol. Please refer to SiRF NMEA Protocol Reference
Manual for a detailed description.
