GPRMB Navigation Information
Navigation data from present position to a destination waypoint. The destination is set active by the GPSCard
SETNAV command. If SETNAV has been set, a command to log either GPRMB or GPRMC will cause both logs to
output data.
Structure:
Example:
$GPRMB,V,0.011,L,START,END,5106.7074000,N,11402.3490000,W,0.0127611,153093,
0.3591502,V*13[CR][LF]
- If cross track error exceeds 9.99 NM, display 9.99
- Represents track error from intended course
- one nautical mile = 1,852 metres
Direction to steer is based on the sign of the crosstrack error,
i.e., L = xtrack error (+); R = xtrack error (–)
Fields 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are tagged from the GPSCard SETNAV command.
If range to destination exceeds 999.9 NM, display 999.9
