Note: The positioning data received is in decimal equivalents of a degree. To obtain degrees and minutes the decimal needs to be multiplied by 60, resulting in degrees and minutes, such as 30.50 degrees would equal 30 degrees and (.50 x 60) 30 minutes. The longitude is sometimes given eastward from 00 so it needs to be subtracted from 360 degrees.

Data Format:
Date (dd.mm.yy): 22.08.96 23:06:55 Time (hr:min:sec)(in GMT), LC (fix quality)
LC just stands for Location Class. Location Classes of 0 and up are the best (derived from 4 or more messages)- a Class 0 is good to within between 1,000 and 5,000 meters. Classes 1,2,3- get consistently more accurate. The letter classes are given no estimate of error, but the A's are better than the B's etc. It appears that some of the letter class locations are pretty good (i.e. several fixes over a short period are quite similar), but then others vary wildly- especially the longitude.
> Lat1: 48.275N [latitude] Lon1: 69.232W [longitude]
NOTE:
The position data received is sometimes in decimal fractions of a whole degree, such as 30.50N degrees. To obtain the degree and minutes equivalent, multiply the decimal fraction times 60 minutes/degree, such as .50 x 60 = 30 minutes. In the case of 30.50 degrees, this equals 30 degrees and 30 minutes.
