6.6.5 GSV Data Message
The GSV message contains GPS satellite information. Null fields occur where data is not available
due to the number of satellites tracked. Table 6-10 breaks down the GSV data message into its
components. This message has the following format.
$GPGSV,t,m,n,ii,ee,aaa,ss,...ii,ee,aaa,ss,*cc<CR><LF>

6.6.6 RMC Data Message
The RMC message contains recommended minimum specific GPS data. Table 6-11 breaks down
the RMC data message into its components. This message has the following format.
$GPRMC,hhmmss.ss,a,ddmm.mmm,n,dddmm.mmm,w,z.z,y.y,ddmmyy,d.d,v
