Examples
#include <nmea.h>

NMEA gps(ALL);    // GPS data connection to all sentence types

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial1.begin(4800);
}

void loop() {
  if (Serial1.available() > 0 ) {
    // read incoming character from GPS and feed it to NMEA type object
    if (gps.decode(Serial1.read())) {
      // full sentence received
      Serial.print ("Sentence = ");
      Serial.println (gps.sentence());
      Serial.print ("Datatype = ");
      Serial.println (gps.term(0));
      Serial.print ("Number of terms = ");
      Serial.println (gps.terms());
    }
  }
}
Description Returns a specific term from the last sentence that was received. The term is returned as a zero-terminated sequence of characters. For example, if the last sentence received was $GPRMC,082804.683,A,5205.9421,N,00506.4368,E,0.02,146.61,190408,,*0C then gps.term(7) returns "0.02". Note that the terms are numbered starting with zero. If the connection type is NMEA(ALL), all sentence types are received. If the connection type is NMEA(GPRMC), only sentences of type GPRMC are received.
