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
message. Total number of messages being transmitted and the
number of messages being transmitted is indicated in the
first two fields.

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 iden-
tifies 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.
