A C++ library for reading and writing NMEA 0183 messages.
This library provides tools for parsing and generating NMEA 0183 messages. It includes a base sentence class for getting/setting fields in a generic NMEA string. It also includes typical NMEA message structures (e.g. GGA, GLL, RMC, etc.) for parsing numerical fields from NMEA sentences. A field class is provided to handle optional fields that may or may not have data. Users may write their own NMEA message structures (e.g. for proprietary NMEA messages) similarly to how the provided messages are implemented. A doxyfile is provided to generate documentation for each class/struct.
