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 will be transmitted)
<4> Satellite PRN number, 01 to 32 (leading zeros will be transmitted)
<5> Satellite elevation, 00 to 90 degrees (leading zeros will be 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.
