Internals: GPS NMEA sentence samples

You could do as I did, and spend an hour or two searching for and selecting data (a Google search for '$GPGGA'), or you could use the following links from which there is about 700MB of raw sample data.

I've been using this material to (a) assess LZARI performance, and (b) test the robustness of the GPS Logger NMEA parser.

Hopefully you'll find them useful, and by the time you do, hopefully they won't have disappeared. Unfortunately because of licensing reasons, I can't make your life easier by tarring up my sample set and redistributing it.

If you're aware of any other useful material, please let us all know.
