NMEA - System Identifier

Overview

The GNSS system identifier (aka “system ID”) was added to several messages in NMEA 4.10.

One might argue that system ID is slightly redundant, due to the presence of a talker ID for all sentences.

Messages

System ID was added to the following messages in NMEA 4.10:

Message ID Description
GBS GNSS Satellite Fault Detection
GRS GNSS Residuals
GSA GNSS Active Satellites
