This log contains navigation data from present position to a destination waypoint. The destination is set active by the receiver SETNAV command.
The GPRMB log outputs these messages without waiting for a valid almanac. Instead, it uses a UTC time, calculated with default parameters. In this case, the UTC time status (see the TIME log) 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. Then the UTC time status is set to VALID.
Message ID: 224
Log Type: Synch
Recommended Input:
log gprmb ontime 1
Example 1 (GPS only):
$GPRMB,A,4.32,L,FROM,TO,5109.7578000,N,11409.0960000,W,4.6,279.2,0.0,V,D*4A
Example 2 (Multi-constellation):
$GNRMB,A,4.32,L,FROM,TO,5109.7578000,N,11409.0960000,W,4.6,279.2,0.0,V,D*54
If the NMEATALKER command is set to AUTO, the talker (the first 2 characters after the $ sign in the log header) is set to GP (GPS satellites only), GL (GLONASS satellites only), GA (Galileo satellites only), GQ (for QZSS satellites only), GB/BD (for BeiDou satellites only) or GN (satellites from multiple systems).
See the Note in the GPGGA log that applies to all NMEA logs.
