Notes:
A data message follows the BOOT message to indicate the reason for the startup. The
DATETIME will be sent once the GPS has acquired the date/time from the GPS network. The
POSITION will be sent once a valid 3D fix has been acquired from the GPS network. The
POSITION message will typically occur before the DATETIME message. Depending on the GPS
signal quality, it may take several minutes before the DATETIME or POSITION message is
emitted.
