Examples | #include <nmea.h> // create a GPS data connection to GPRMC sentence type NMEA gps(GPRMC); void setup() { Serial1.begin(4800); pinMode(8, OUTPUT); } void loop() { if (Serial1.available() > 0 ) { // read incoming character from GPS char c = Serial1.read(); // check if the character completes a valid GPS sentence if (gps.decode(c)) { // check if GPS positioning was active if (gps.gprmc_status() == 'A') { // check if you are in Colorado, USA boolean inColorado = (gps.gprmc_latitude() > 37.0) && (gps.gprmc_latitude() < 41.0) && (gps.gprmc_longitude() < -102.05) && (gps.gprmc_longitude() > -109.05); // set led accordingly if (inColorado) { digitalWrite(8, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(8, LOW); } } } } } |
Description | Returns latitude of GPS position. The latitude is returned as decimal degrees. A positive value indicates the Northern hemisphere, a negative value indicates the Southern hemisphere. For example, Sydney (Australia) is located around -33.853312 decimal degrees latitude, which is 33.853312 degrees latitude on the Southern hemisphere. |
Syntax | gprmc_latitude() |
