<4> Longitude, dddmm.mmmm format for GPS 18x PC/LVC; dddmm.mmmmm for GPS 18x-5Hz
(leading zeros will be transmitted)
Longitude hemisphere, E or W
<6> GPS quality indication, 0 = fix not available, 1 = Non-differential GPS fix available, 2 =

<8> Horizontal dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
<9> Antenna height above/below mean sea level, -9999.9 to 99999.9 meters
<10> Geoidal height, -999.9 to 9999.9 meters
<11> Null (Differential GPS)
<12> Null (Differential Reference Station ID)
4.2.5 GPS DOP and Active Satellites (GSA)

Position dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
Horizontal dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
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>
Total number of GSV sentences to be transmitted
<2> Number of current GSV sentence
Total number of satellites in view, 00 to 12 (leading zeros will be transmitted)
Satellite PRN number, 01 to 32 (leading zeros will be transmitted)
<5> Satellite elevation, 00 to 90 degrees (leading zeros will be transmitted)
Satellite azimuth, 000 to 359 degrees, true (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.
