General NMEA Format
The general NMEA format consists of an ASCII string commencing with a ‘$’ character and
terminating with a sequence. NMEA standard messages commence with ‘GP’
then a 3-letter message identifier. The message header is followed by a comma delimited list
of fields optionally terminated with a checksum consisting of an asterix ‘*’ and a 2 digit hex
value representing the checksum. There is no comma preceding the checksum field. When
present, the checksum is calculated as a bitwise exclusive of the characters between the ‘$’ and
‘*’. As an ASCII representation, the number of digits in each number will vary depending on
the number and precision, hence the record length will vary. Certain fields may be omitted if
they are not used, in which case the field position is reserved using commas to ensure correct
interpretation of subsequent fields.
