GPS protocols
8.1.1
TAIP
TAIP is configured using a single command string. Read Trimble’s TAIP documentation to learn how to create a
command that meets your needs.
The modem listens on UDP port 21000 for TAIP commands, allowing its configuration to be modified on the fly by
software applications that support TAIP.
8.1.2
NMEA
NMEA uses one or more of the following seven pre-defined, fixed-format messages.

8.2
Odometer
The modem can keep track of the total distance traveled by aggregating the data obtained from the GPS fixes. It
calculates the distance traveled based on a straight line between the current and previous fix. By appending these
calculations to a total, the modem is able to keep track of the total distance travelled. When using the NMEA protocol,
the GPS fix is updated every second, so the odometer can be very accurate. However, when using the TAIP protocol, the
GPS fix is acquired as per the configured fix acquisition timer. If the timer is set to a high value such as 5 minutes, then
the odometer will most likely be inaccurate.
