GPS Test
------------------------
This time I used my GPS to see what it can do for me.
GARMIN GPS 72 in hddd.ddddd mode - WGS84 Datum
$GPRMC,154242,V,2734.4576,S,15306.2202,E,0.0,0.0,040106,11.0,E,S*35
GARMIN GPS 72 in hddd.mm.mmm mode - WGS84 Datum
$GPRMC,154416,V,2734.4576,S,15306.2202,E,0.0,0.0,040106,11.0,E,S*32
GARMIN GPS 72 in hddd.mm.ss.s mode - WGS84 Datum
$GPRMC,154456,V,2734.4576,S,15306.2202,E,0.0,0.0,040106,11.0,E,S*36
That seems to indicate that the NMEA data stays the same - its the display
that changes.
Ok, so plugging this into google earth, and modifying the last number:-
$GPRMC,154456,V,2734.4576,S,15306.2202,E,0.0,0.0,040106,11.0,E,S*36
$GPRMC,154456,V,2734.4577,S,15306.2202,E,0.0,0.0,040106,11.0,E,S*36 (added
one to this pos S)
Now I am assuming this is
27 deg 34 minutes 45.76 Seconds ? and
27 deg 34 minutes 45.77 Seconds ?
This gave me about 30 cm's resolution.
