B1: NMEA Messages - Overview
Background information
National Marine Electronics Association is a standard for interfacing marine electronic devices. This chapter
describes all NMEA-0183 messages which can be output by the receiver.
A Talker ID appears at the beginning of the header of each NMEA message. The Talker ID can be user defined or
standard (based on the NMEA 3.0). This is normally GP for GPS.
