This function accepts external data in the NMEA 0183 format. Advanced Navigation
recommends against using NMEA 0183 input wherever possible due to the inefficiency,
low accuracy and precision and weak error checking of the format. All NMEA messages
received must have a valid checksum. Supported messages are listed below. The
recommended combination of messages are RMC with optional messages GPGSV and
GPGSA. If RMC is not available, GGA and VTG can be used.

Table 29: Supported NMEA messages
This function is designed for interfacing Certus with a Novatel GNSS receiver. It accepts
data in the Novatel binary format and requires messages BESTPOS and BESTVEL at
rates higher than 1 Hz (20Hz recommended). The message BESTSATS is optional to
display detailed satellite information. The message HEADING is also supported for
ALIGN capable receivers.
This function is designed for interfacing Certus with a Topcon GNSS receiver. It accepts
data in the GRIL TPS binary format and expects messages PG and VG at rates higher
than 1 Hz.
This function accepts data in the ANPP format as specified in
Packet
Protocol.
