[postgis-users] NMEA 0183 table defs?

[Brent Fraser]

Jeff,

   You may want to step back and decide what you are trying to model in the 
database, then figure out how to manipulate your input data into the model.  Do 
you really want to model the all NMEA data (yikes!) or, for example, just a 
vehicle's current position?

   The two links you gave below have some excellent information; for simple 
position, some of the more interesting NMEA sentances are GPGGA, GPRMC, and 
GPGLL (and any proprietary sentences the device spits out).

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
