[FOSS-GPS] High accuracy positioning with low cost GPS devices:a FOSS project

[Michael Tandy]

When you get the measurement time tag, like so:

rawTime = rinexObsData.getEpoch(recentEpoch); // raw time read from receiver

could you explain how you get the measurement time tag? Do you just
use the ITOW from the UBX-RXM-RAW message?
