The AIVDM/AIVDO protocol decoding site contains the answer but there is a lot to sift through there. Starting from the json code, it should be easy to go on with further formatting and storing stuff. Print json.dumps(msg, indent=4, sort_keys=True)Īssuming that the nmea-samples file is in a data directory, you can filter out the line you want to show cat, head and tail. # make a json pretty print for each message # decode a file or somthing form the STDINį = open(sys.argv) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else sys.stdin # FutureWarning: The stream module is deprecated and will be removed in 1.0 I use json as a 'clear text pretty printer'.

#NMEA CHECKSUM CODE#

Here is some quick and dirty code in a script called test-ais.py to get the unix like head & tail behavoir. $ ls /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libais-0.16-py2.7-linux-x86_64.eggĪis _ais.py _ais.pyc _ais.so EGG-INFO test

#NMEA CHECKSUM INSTALL#

$ sudo python setup.py install # to deploy itĪfter all you should have the libraries in your python environment. $ python setup.py build # to build the python stuff

#NMEA CHECKSUM DOWNLOAD#

Download the data from $ cd YOUR_BUILD_PATHĪnd follow the installation instruction on/at the github page or run $ cd YOUR_BUILD_PATH/libais To get some code running, you need git a C++ compiler, the python setup environment, cmake. Here is a small howto running under LINUX and python 2.7. There you will find a decoder and documents to understand the nmea messages (mostly links menioned by the posts of and Dev). estimated error of position in the horizontal planeĭata about what satellites we were using, and errors.There is a good github repository of Kurt Schwehr who works at the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (to track whale activities for example).

N for northern hemisphere and S for southern.

They contain different sets of information, but the information is duplicated in different commands, so you will get your position in many of these commands. Where the chars following $GP and preceding then first ',' i the message type.

#NMEA CHECKSUM WINDOWS#

It exists a windows application supporting live NMEA on OSM maps under Raw NMEA Data New versions of JOSM can handle NMEA files. If your GPS receiver logs in NMEA format, you will need to convert the NMEA files to GPX before you can upload via the OSM website in order to make them public. This is true for the NaviGPS and for Neo1973 using gllin driver. The script will use gpsbabel to convert your tracks to GPX, then upload them to the main server, saving you the effort! Uploading NMEA text dumps (web interface)Īt, you can upload your tracks in NMEA (or any other) format to OSM. ZDA UTC Date/Time and Local Time Zone Offset (Log the timezone you have setup in the device) NMEA information sources VTG Track made good and Ground speed, how far, long and at what compass direction have been travelling (in short speed, heading and log)

GLL Geographic Position - Latitude/Longitude It only indicates how the sattelites are positioned and how that effects your position, you might still have radio interference that might mess things up.

My interpretation of this is (which might very well be wrong): If these values are high your data is guarnteed to be bad, if low you data might be bad anyways. GGA Global Positioning System Fix Data can also contain DOP information (I think) RMC is the recommended minimum sentence, it a specification can say 'This unit support the Commands: GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, GLL och VTG' You might need to know what the NMEA key words are, if you buy a GPS or if you want to setup and configure your device.
