GPSTEXT command
Abbrev. GPST default: $PNTS parameter: up to 6 letters
Example: GPST $GPRMC
When the initial part of the input data received by GPS port and the GPSTEXT command match,
the GPS input data contained in the string will be automatically placed in the LTEXT buffer. If
the GPSTEXT content is one of those below and does not match with the initial part of the data, it
restructures the sentence and automatically updates the LTEXT content based on previously
received GPS data. In other words, the feature offers the conversion of the GPS data.
