GSA (GPS DOP and Active Satellites)
The GSA sentence identifies the GPS position fix mode, the Satellite Vehicles (SVs) used for navi-
gation, and the Dilution of Precision (DOP) values. DOP is an indication of the effect of satellite
geometry on the accuracy of the fix. An example is below:
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E<CR><LF>
$GPGSA,A,3,18,3,22,6,9,14,19,32,17,1,,,2.0,1.2,1.6*10<CR><LF>
