4.2.5 GPS DOP and Active Satellites (GSA)
$GPGSA,<1>,<2>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>*hh<CR><LF>
<1> Mode, M = manual, A = automatic
<2> Fix type, 1 = not available, 2 = 2D, 3 = 3D
<3> PRN number, 01 to 32, of satellite used in solution, up to 12 transmitted (leading zeros are
transmitted)
<4> Position dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
<5> Horizontal dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
<6> Vertical dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
4.2.6 GPS Satellites in View (GSV)
$GPGSV,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,...<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>*hh<CR><LF>
<1> Total number of GSV sentences to be transmitted
<2> Number of current GSV sentence
<3> Total number of satellites in view, 00 to 12 (leading zeros are transmitted)
<4> Satellite PRN number, 01 to 32 (leading zeros are transmitted)
<5> Satellite elevation, 00 to 90 degrees (leading zeros are transmitted)
<6> Satellite azimuth, 000 to 359 degrees, true (leading zeros are transmitted)
<7> Signal to noise ratio (C/No) 00 to 99 dB, null when not tracking (leading zeros are transmitted)
Note: Items <4>,<5>,<6>, and <7> repeat for each satellite in view to a maximum of four (4) satellites per
sentence. Additional satellites in view information must be sent in subsequent bursts of NMEA 0183 data.
These fields will be null if unused.

<2> Status, A = Valid position, V = NAV receiver warning
<3> Latitude, ddmm.mmmm format (leading zeros are transmitted)
<4> Latitude hemisphere, N or S
<5> Longitude, dddmm.mmmm format (leading zeros are transmitted)
<6> Longitude hemisphere, E or W
<7> Speed over ground, 000.0 to 999.9 knots (leading zeros are transmitted)
<8> Course over ground, 000.0 to 359.9 degrees, true (leading zeros are transmitted)
<9> UTC date of position fix, ddmmyy format
<10> Magnetic variation, 000.0 to 180.0 degrees (leading zeros are transmitted)
