NMEA GGA, RMC, and VTG SENTENCES
Some devices report GPS information with multiple NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) sentence
formats: GGA, RMC, and VTG. See the examples below. For more examples and information about NMEA
sentences, see the following websites:

Float RTK; 6 = estimated (dead reckoning); 7 = Manual input mode; 8 = Simulation mode
06 Number of satellites being tracked
1.5 Horizontal dilution of precision (HDOP) – relative accuracy of horizontal position
117.312,M Altitude in meters above mean sea level
Geoidal separation: height of mean sea level above WGS-84 earth ellipsoid (negative value means mean sea level
-26.574,M
is below ellipsoid)
