NMEA-GPGGA-Message-Processor

NMEA GPGGA Message Processor

This project is designed to process NMEA GPGGA messages from a text file. The program extracts and validates critical data such as time, latitude, longitude, and satellite count from each GPGGA message and outputs this information to the console.

Features

• Reads NMEA GPGGA messages from a file.
• Extracts and validates time, latitude, longitude, and satellite count.
• Handles errors for invalid data and ensures proper formatting and validation.
• Outputs the processed data to the console.

File Structure

• main.c: The main C source file containing the implementation of the NMEA GPGGA message processing.
• nmea_messages.txt: The input text file containing NMEA messages.

Usage

1. Compile the Program: Use a C compiler to compile the program. For example, using gcc:

   gcc -o nmea_processor main.c
   

2. Prepare the Input File: Ensure that your input file nmea_messages.txt is in the same directory as the compiled executable. The file should contain NMEA messages, one per line.

3. Run the Program: Execute the compiled program:

   ./nmea_processor
   

4. Output: The program will output the extracted and validated data to the console. If any errors are encountered during processing, appropriate error messages will be displayed.

Example

Input (nmea_messages.txt):

$GPGGA,123519,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,1,08,0.9,545.4,M,46.9,M,,*47
$GPGGA,invalid message
$GPGGA,225444,3731.234,S,14507.567,W,1,12,0.8,12.0,M,-34.0,M,,*75

Output:

Time: 12:35:19.000, Latitude: 4807.038N, Longitude: 01131.000E, Satellites: 8
Error: Invalid message type
Time: 22:54:44.000, Latitude: 3731.234S, Longitude: 14507.567W, Satellites: 12
