6.1.11 GPRMC GNSS Recommended Information
This command is used to log time, date, position, heading and velocity data
calculated by receivers. RMC is the recommended minimum navigation data for
receivers.
The GPRMC log outputs these messages without waiting for a valid almanac.
Instead, it uses a UTC time, calculating with default parameters. In this case, the UTC
time status is set to WARNING since it may not be one hundred percent accurate.
When a valid almanac is available, the receiver uses the real parameters to calculate.
Then the UTC time status is set to VALID.
Recommend Input:
Output 1Hz GPRMC message from current serial port:
GPRMC 1
Output 1Hz GPRMC message from com2:
GPRMC COM2 1
