More information
- The GPS data is NMEA 0183 formatted and packed into a JSON object called NMEA 0183: TPV. In the “Metrics” tab you will find the data in the raw format as well as dedicated metrics for each parameter.
- The location receiver provides the NMEA 0183: SKY object as well which is not presented in the Starter Kit. From that object, two metrics are being calculated and presented separately with the names In View and Used.
The table represents all the available parameters/metrics and their descriptions of the location receiver.
