VTG
When VTG is enabled (set to “Y”), the “Track made good and ground speed”
sentence can be transmitted from the GPS receiver. The data available in a VTG
message includes: Speed (knots), Speed (kilometers per hour) and Direction.
Tx Period
The value assigned to this parameter determines the rate at which the enabled
sentences are transmitted. For example, a value of 10 means that all enabled
sentences will be transmitted at the beginning of each 10 second period.
