Support reading, understanding and creating NMEA 0183 data that is the de-facto standard for GNSS (GPS) receivers and software handling GNSS data.

(last update of this section: 2018-09-20)

This is a personal side project and currently a work in progress. I am using it to understand the data returned by my GNSS receiver and manipulate it before forwarding it to my Android tablet (see the example).

It's currently in the 0.x phase of things. The API may change, but right now I'm quite satisfied with it.

It currently only supports the types that I need, namely GGA and RMC. More will be added once I need them or if somebody contributes them.

Speaking of contributions, I'm basically open for them, but please create an issue before doing larger changes/additions if you want them to be accepted.

• Improve API docs. Currently, only Sentence and the example have proper documentation.
• Check format of fields when creating subtype objects.
• Real support for creating objects from scratch instead of from an NMEA string.
  • Properly initialize fields property (e.g. ensure correct number of fields).
• Add tests.
