Garmin GPS 17N Technical Specifications
An example function to do the parsing is shown below. Note that the double data types are converted by the
function cnvt_ieee_double(). This function merely swaps the upper and lower words of the double.
This is necessary on GPS 15, 16, 17 series sensors due to a compatibility issue with the IEEE floating point
standard): In this example, the array m_TempArray contains the data portion of the ephemeris packet
(with DLE stuffing removed).
