GSV GPS Satellites in View
Number of satellites (SV) in view, PRN numbers, elevation,
azimuth and SNR value. Four satellites maximum per transmis-
sion, additional satellite data sent in second or their mes-
sage. Total number of messages being transmitted and the
number of messages being transmitted is indicated in the first
two fields.

1 Total number of messages, 1 to 3
2 Message number, 1 to 3
3 Total numer of satellites in view
4 Satellite PRN number
5 Elevation, degrees, 90° maximum
6 Azimuth, degrees True, 000 to 359
7 SNR (C/No) 00-99 dB, null when not tracking
8-9 2nd-3rd SV
10-11 4th SV
Notes: 1) Satellite information may require the transmission
of multiple messages. The first field specifies the total
number of messages, minimum value 1. The second field identi-
fies the order of this message (message number), minimum value
1.
2) A variable number of “PRN-Elevation-Azimuth-SNR” sets are
allowed up to a maximum of four sets per message. Null fields
are not required for unused sets when less than four sets are
transmitted.
