The following subsections provide detailed information relating to the use of
each command.
2.1 GGA Data Message
The GGA message contains detailed GPS position information, and is the
most frequently used NMEA data message. In Table 2-2, the GGA data
message is broken down into its components. This message takes the
following form:
