1.6.4.3 GPS 17x HVS Protocol

NMEA 0183 Version 3.01 (the factory default version) is programmable by data field 7 of the PGRMC1
sentence described in
Available NMEA 0183 output sentences include GPALM, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPRMC, GPVTG,
GPGLL, PGRME, PGRMF, PGRMM, PGRMT, PGRMV, and PGRMB (Garmin proprietary sentences).
See
section 4.2 Transmitted NMEA 0183 Sentences
Configuration and initialization is accomplished with NMEA 0183 input sentences. Allows initialization of
information such as expected position, date, time, earth datum, and differential mode. See
Received NMEA 0183 Sentences
Configurable for binary data output.
