GPS Message Syntax
GPS message syntax that is sent from the UIP device to the backend server:
<GPSPREFIX><GPSURAIS><NMEA_MESSAGE><CR><LF>
Where
<GPSPREFIX> is the unique prefix. Length is 0 to 4 characters (Character format or requirements usually
provided by backend service)
<GPSURAIS> is the unique remote asset identification string. Length is 0 to 20 characters (This string may be
provided by the backend service)
<NMEA_MESSAGE> is a standard NMEA sentence received from the internal GPS receiver
<CR><LF> is a Carriage Return and a Line feed
The message that will be transmitted can be viewed with the #GPSGETMESSAGE command. The difference from
the viewed message and the transmitted message will be the NMEA message parameters due to timestamp
changes and or location changes.
The <GPSPREFIX><GPSURAIS><NMEA_MESSAGE><CR><LF> is a popular format used by numerous services.
Along with the format, the following rules are followed:
● Typical transmission protocol is UDP (format provided by backend service) due to low overhead, however
TCP is available
● Multiple GPS message can and will be transmitted granted the specific message type is enabled (GPSGPVTG,
GPSGPRMC, etc)
● Typical minimum message type needed by the backend services is usually the GPRMC or GPGGA and GPVTG
messages (Requirement provided by the backend server)
● Do not use the $ character in either the <GPSPREFIX> or <GPSURAIS> sections
● Typical transmission intervals to the backend service are 5sec and greater (requirement provided by
backend server)
