Advanced Navigation Packet Protocol

The Advanced Navigation Packet Protocol (ANPP) is a binary protocol designed with
high error checking, high efficiency and safe design practices. It has a well defined
specification and is very flexible. It is used across all existing and future Advanced
Navigation products.
