When receiving the RMC sentence, and if the Status in that sentence is A (Data valid) and the
Navigational status is S (Safe), the quality type is checked using the MI (Mode Indicator) as
mentioned in the table above.
- If the quality is valid, the operating state is indicated with the position and time information.
- If the quality is invalid, or if the Status is V (Data invalid) or the Navigational status is C
(Caution), U (Unsafe) or V (Not valid), the operating state decided by the Quality Indicator,
Status or Mode indicator of the receiving highest priority sentence (GGA> GNS> GLL> RMC)
is displayed on the screen.
- See 5.2 for method to display the quality information on the regular screen.
