Mikal Sorry, amrk,

Is this a function of the module or the programming such as your application? My hope is that your app circumvents this problem. Thanks for your contibution to arduino!

I do hope to someday write a more thorough document. While I'm at it, I hope to add some of the popular fields you are interested in. Thanks for the note.

If so where can I find it? 2) I am wanting to get some more data from my GPS - I have found the forum on the Arduino site that explains how to get the number of satelites in view, but I am needing the magnetic variation, 2D/3D fix, fix quality and dilution info Mikal,

I have a couple of questions:

1) Do you have a library reference document for the TinyGPS? If so where can I find it?

2) I am wanting to get some more data from my GPS – I have found the forum on the Arduino site that explains how to get the number of satelites in view, but I am needing the magnetic variation, 2D/3D fix, fix quality and dilution info

I need to receive the longitudne and latitude in sexagesimal format. How do I change the function parse_degrees () to get the result in this format?

These numbers can be decoded from the GPGSA sentence which is part of the standard set of NMEA v2.2 sentences. Another useful piece of information that comes out of this sentence is what type of fix the GPS is maintaining, 2D or 3D. Waiting for a 3D fix may allow others to avoid that initial position error that folks are reporting. Just a thought... :-) -Rusty- I too would like to add my request for P,H, & VDOP.

If that's not there, the weirdo's like me who turn off the stats, can't get TinyGPS to compile. :-o -Rusty- Mikal,
