1 GPS SPS (Standard Positioning Service) mode STD GPS ●
2 Differential GPS, SPS mode STD DGPS ●
3 GPS PPS (Precise Positioning Service) mode PREC GPS ●
4 Real Time Kinematic mode RTK GPS ●
5 Float RTK mode FRTK GPS ●

8 Simulator mode GPS @SIM ●
When receiving the GGA sentence, the quality type is checked using the Quality Indicator (QI)
as mentioned in the table above.
- If the quality is valid, the operating state is indicated with the position and time information.
- If the quality is invalid, the next GNS sentence is referred.

When receiving the GNS sentence, and if the Navigational status in that sentence is S (Safe), the
quality type is checked using the Mode Indicator (MI) as mentioned in the table above.
- If the quality is valid, the operating state is indicated with the position and time information.
- If the quality is invalid, or the Navigational status is C (Caution), U (Unsafe) or V (Not valid),
the next GLL sentence is referred.
