Description</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
This driver supports GPS receivers with the <tt>$GPRMC</tt> NMEA output
|
|
|
|
|
string by default. Alternately the <tt>$GPGGA</tt> or <tt>$GPGLL
|
|
|
|
|
</tt>may
|
|
|
|
|
be selected.
|
|
|
|
|
<br>The driver expects the receiver to be set up to transmit a <tt>$GPRMC</tt>
|
1999-12-09 13:01:21 +00:00
|
|
|
message every second.
|
2001-08-29 14:35:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>The accuracy depend on the receiver used. Inexpesive GPS models are
|
|
|
|
|
available with a claimed PPS signal accuracy of 1 <font face="Symbol">m</font>s
|
1999-12-09 13:01:21 +00:00
|
|
|
or better relative to the broadcast signal. However, in most cases the
|
|
|
|
|
actual accuracy is limited by the precision of the timecode and the latencies
|
|
|
|
|
of the serial interface and operating system.
|
2001-08-29 14:35:15 +00:00
|
|
|
<p>If the Operating System supports the PPSAPI, RFC-2783, it will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The various GPS sentences that this driver recognises look like this:

Alternate GPS sentences (other than <tt>$GPRMC</tt> - the default) may
|
|
|
|
|
be enabled by setting the relevent bits of 'mode' in the server configuration

<p>The driver will send a <tt>$PMOTG,RMC,0000*1D<cr><lf></tt> message
|
|
|
|
|
each time a <tt>$GPRMC</tt> string is needed. This is not needed on most
|
|
|
|
|
GPS receivers because they automatically send the <tt>$GPRMC</tt> string
|
|
|
|
|
every second and will only work on GPS receivers that understand the <tt>$PMOTG</tt>
|
1999-12-09 13:01:21 +00:00

|
|
string. Others will just ignore it.
