bearing from the present position to the destination (magnetic or true).
GGA GPS position, time, fix quality, number of satellites used, height of antenna, HDOP
(Horizontal Dilution of Precision), differential reference information and age.
GSA
GPS receiver operating mode, satellites used in the navigation solution reported by
the $— GGA sentence.
GSV Number of satellites in view, satellite numbers, elevation, azimuth, and SNR value.
RMB
Data status, Cross Track Error, direction to steer, origin, destination Waypoint,
