PTNL,GGK - Global Positioning System fix data (Trimble proprietary)

The GGK record contains time, position, position type and DOP related data for a GNSS receiver. See the following bitmap and spreadsheet for a description of a record:

Fields of the GGA message string

Note – The PTNL,GGK message is longer than the NMEA-0183 standard of 80 characters.
– The latitude and longitude are in the datum and ellipsoid of the selected reference frame.
