transmitted)
<4>
Position dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
<5>
Horizontal dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
<6>
Vertical dilution of precision, 0.5 to 99.9
4.2.6
GPS Satellites in View (GSV)
$GPGSV,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,...<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>*hh<CR><LF>
<1>
Total number of GSV sentences to be transmitted
<2>
Number of current GSV sentence
<3>
Total number of satellites in view, 00 to 12 (leading zeros will be transmitted)
<4>
Satellite PRN number, 01 to 32 (leading zeros will be transmitted)
<5>
Satellite elevation, 00 to 90 degrees (leading zeros will be transmitted)
<6>

transmitted)
Note: Items <4>,<5>,<6>, and <7> repeat for each satellite in view to a maximum of four (4) satellites per
sentence. Additional satellites in view information must be sent in subsequent bursts of NMEA 0183 data.
These fields will be null if unused.
