Position Message

Typical position messages are sent in compressed binary format (Message Type 10) to save on
data usage and are parsed in XeosOnline. If XeosOnline is not used, GPS Text Short (Message
Type 0) can be used to read position messages as P-Type.

Compressed Binary Position

The default format for positions is compressed to save on Iridium data usage. This binary format
is parsed into a readable format by XeosOnline, placing its full contents in the Message and
Location Logs. The binary format is stackable and can transmit more than one position per Iridium
transmission. In this situation, all recorded positions will be displayed in the Location Log, while
the latest position will be displayed in the Message Log.
