提供GPS功能的Wince和Windows Mobile都需要一个GPS接收器(GPS Receiver)。GPS receiver就像一个收音机,他从太空中各个GPS卫星(Satellites)接收信号,通过自身的算法(一般在Firmware里面)计算出位置等信息,然后以NMEA data的格式输出。GPS receiver就是接收卫星信号转换成NMEA data的设备。
进行GPS的开发需要从GPS receiver取出NMEA data,分析出关心的数据。关心的数据包括经度(Longitude),维度(Latitude)和海拔(Altitude)等等。在Windows Mobile 5以上MS提供了GPS Intermediate Driver,开发人员不再需要自己分析NMEA data了。但是Wince5以及以下版本不提供GPS Intermediate Driver,还是需要自己分析NMEA data来取出关心的信息。本文讲述如何使用C#进行NMEA data的分析。第一眼看,分析NMEA有自己做轮子之嫌,其实了解NMEA的分析也是有好处的,由于各个生产GPS receiver的厂商在硬件工艺和算法的不一样,各个厂商都提供自己扩展的NMEA data,这些数据GPS Intermediate Driver是不支持的,需要自己分析。
NMEA 全称NMEA 0183,是电子与数据的通信规范,也就是协议。实现该协议的设备输出这种规范的数据,其他应用就可以基于这协议分析出相关的数据。NMEA开始用在航海设备上,现在广泛用在GPS设备上,这就是为什么NMEA的原始速度使用Knot(海里/小时)表示。下面是一段GPS NMEA data的范例
$GPRMC, 000006 ,A, 3754.6240 ,S, 14509.7720 ,E, 010.8 , 313.1 , 010108 , 011.8 ,E * 6A
$GPGGA, 201033 , 3754.6240 ,S, 14509.7720 ,E, 1 , 05 , 1.7 , 91.1 ,M, - 1.1 ,M,, * 75
$GPGSA,A, 3 ,, 05 , 10 ,,,, 21 ,, 29 , 30 ,,, 2.9 , 1.7 , 1.3 * 32
$GPGSV, 3 , 3 , 12 , 29 , 74 , 163 , 41 , 30 , 53 , 337 , 40 , 31 , 09 , 266 , 00 , 37 , 00 , 000 , 00 * 78
$PGRME, 6.3 ,M, 11.9 ,M, 13.5 ,M * 25
$PGRMB, 0.0 , 200 ,,,,K,,N,W * 28
$PGRMM,WGS 84 * 06 复制代码
GPS NMEA data有以下特点:
* 每一条NMEA data的数据都是以dollar符号开头。
* 从第二个字符开始的前2个字符表示发送者(talker)和接着3个字符表示数据(message)。其中上面的talker中,GP表示通用的GPS NMEA data,而PG为特定厂商的NMEA data。
* 所有数据字段(data fields)都是使用逗号隔开(comma-delimited)。
* 最后一个数据段接着一个星号(asterisk)。
* 星号后面是两位数字的校正码(checksum),checksum的计算方法是或计算在 '$' 和 '*'之间的所有字符。
* 最后以回车换行(<CR><LF>)结尾。
有了上述规范,开发NMEA的分析器就变得十分简单,分析流程是:先接收一条NMEA语句(NMEA sentence),然后检查语句格式,检查checksum,然后再根据talker和message进行分发,使用不同的算法进行分析。下面为核心分析流程。
public bool Parse( string sentence)
{
string rawData = sentence;
try
{
if ( ! IsValid(sentence))
{
return false ;
}
sentence = sentence.Substring( 1 , sentence.IndexOf( ' * ' ) - 1 );
string [] Words = Getwords(sentence);
switch (Words[ 0 ])
{
case " GPRMC " :
return ParseGPRMC(Words);
case " GPGGA " :
return ParseGPGGA(Words);
case " GPGSA " :
return ParseGPGSA(Words);
case " GPGSV " :
return ParseGPGSV(Words);
default :
return false ;
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + rawData);
return false ;
}
} 复制代码
代码1
Parse为分析接口,所有从GPS Receiver接收到NMEA data全部调用这个接口进行分析。
IsValid检验该NMEA sentence是否有效。
Checksum进行Checksum运算,检验校验码是否有效。
接下来,讲述关键语句的分析。进行语句的分析,需要一个NMEA的规范手册,这个手册可以从GPS厂商下载,例如从Garmin下载 NMEA手册
在该手册的第24页可以看到GPRMC的协议定义。

图1
根据手册的规范定义,抽取想要的信息。如下代码:
private bool ParseGPRMC( string [] Words)
{
if (Words[ 1 ].Length > 0 & Words[ 9 ].Length > 0 )
{
int UtcHours = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 1 ].Substring( 0 , 2 ));
int UtcMinutes = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 1 ].Substring( 2 , 2 ));
int UtcSeconds = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 1 ].Substring( 4 , 2 ));
int UtcMilliseconds = 0 ;
// Extract milliseconds if it is available
if (Words[ 1 ].Length > 7 )
{
UtcMilliseconds = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 1 ].Substring( 7 ));
}
int UtcDay = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 9 ].Substring( 0 , 2 ));
int UtcMonth = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 9 ].Substring( 2 , 2 ));
// available for this century
int UtcYear = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 9 ].Substring( 4 , 2 )) + 2000 ;
utcDateTime = new DateTime(UtcYear, UtcMonth, UtcDay, UtcHours, UtcMinutes, UtcSeconds, UtcMilliseconds);
}
fixStatus = (Words[ 2 ][ 0 ] == ' A ' ) ? FixStatus.Obtained : FixStatus.Lost;
if (Words[ 3 ].Length > 0 & Words[ 4 ].Length == 1 & Words[ 5 ].Length > 0 & Words[ 6 ].Length == 1 )
{
latitude.Hours = int .Parse(Words[ 3 ].Substring( 0 , 2 ));
latitude.Minutes = int .Parse(Words[ 3 ].Substring( 2 , 2 ));
latitude.Seconds = Math.Round( double .Parse(Words[ 3 ].Substring( 5 , 4 )) * 6 / 1000.0 , 3 );
if ( " S " == Words[ 4 ])
{
latitude.Hours = - latitude.Hours;
}
longitude.Hours = int .Parse(Words[ 5 ].Substring( 0 , 3 ));
longitude.Minutes = int .Parse(Words[ 5 ].Substring( 3 , 2 ));
longitude.Seconds = Math.Round( double .Parse(Words[ 5 ].Substring( 6 , 4 )) * 6 / 1000.0 , 3 );
if ( " W " == Words[ 6 ])
{
longitude.Hours = - longitude.Hours;
}
}
if (Words[ 8 ].Length > 0 )
{
azimuth = decimal .Parse(Words[ 8 ], NmeaCultureInfo);
}
if (Words[ 7 ].Length > 0 )
{
velocity = decimal .Parse(Words[ 7 ], NmeaCultureInfo) * KMpHPerKnot;
}
return true ;
} 复制代码
代码2
从ParseGPRMC看,传递的参数是一个string的数组,分析要做的事情就是把数组的元素根据手册翻译成需要的信息,例如字段1为UTC的日期信息,字段9为UTC的时间信息。字段2为fix信息,就是GPS是否完成了初始化的信息。字段3,4为经度,字段5,6为维度。字段7为速度。字段8为角度。
private bool ParseGPGGA( string [] Words)
{
if (Words[ 6 ].Length > 0 )
{
switch (Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 6 ]))
{
case 0 :
differentialGpsType = DifferentialGpsType.NotSet;
break ;
case 1 :
differentialGpsType = DifferentialGpsType.SPS;
break ;
case 2 :
differentialGpsType = DifferentialGpsType.DSPS;
break ;
case 3 :
differentialGpsType = DifferentialGpsType.PPS;
break ;
case 4 :
differentialGpsType = DifferentialGpsType.RTK;
break ;
default :
differentialGpsType = DifferentialGpsType.NotSet;
break ;
}
}
if (Words[ 7 ].Length > 0 )
{
satellitesInUsed = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 7 ]);
}
if (Words[ 8 ].Length > 0 )
{
horizontalDilutionOfPrecision = Convert.ToDecimal(Words[ 8 ]);
}
if (Words[ 9 ].Length > 0 )
{
altitude = Convert.ToDecimal(Words[ 9 ]);
}
return true ;
} 复制代码
代码3
分析ParseGPGGA和分析ParseGPRMC一样,从数组抽取信息,字段6为fix类型,这个参数表示使用了那些辅佐卫星或者地面信号站来提高GPS的精度。SPS为普通类型,DSPS使用了DGPS 地面信号站fix,DSPS使用了WAAS位置卫星fix(只是用在美国),PPS使用了EGNOS位置卫星fix(只是用在欧洲),RTK使用了MSAS位置卫星fix(只是用在亚洲)。字段7为使用卫星的数量。字段8为水平精度。字段9为海拔。
private bool ParseGPGSA( string [] Words)
{
if (Words[ 1 ].Length > 0 )
{
fixMode = Words[ 1 ][ 0 ] == ' A ' ? FixMode.Auto : FixMode.Manual;
}
if (Words[ 2 ].Length > 0 )
{
switch (Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 2 ]))
{
case 1 :
fixMethod = FixMethod.NotSet;
break ;
case 2 :
fixMethod = FixMethod.Fix2D;
break ;
case 3 :
fixMethod = FixMethod.Fix3D;
break ;
default :
fixMethod = FixMethod.NotSet;
break ;
}
}
foreach (GpsSatellite s in satellites.Values)
{
s.InUsed = false ;
}
satellitesInUsed = 0 ;
for ( int i = 0 ; i < 12 ; ++ i)
{
string id = Words[ 3 + i];
if (id.Length > 0 )
{
int nId = Convert.ToInt32(id);
if ( ! satellites.ContainsKey(nId))
{
satellites[nId] = new GpsSatellite();
satellites[nId].PRC = nId;
}
satellites[nId].InUsed = true ;
++ satellitesInUsed;
}
}
if (Words[ 15 ].Length > 0 )
{
positionDilutionOfPrecision = Convert.ToDecimal(Words[ 15 ]);
}
if (Words[ 16 ].Length > 0 )
{
horizontalDilutionOfPrecision = Convert.ToDecimal(Words[ 16 ]);
}
if (Words[ 17 ].Length > 0 )
{
verticalDilutionOfPrecision = Convert.ToDecimal(Words[ 17 ]);
}
return true ;
} 复制代码
代码4
从ParseGPGSA看,字段1为fix的状态,手工fix或者自动fix。字段2为fix的方法,2D或者3D。字段3到14共12个字段分别为在使用卫星的信息。字段15为位置精度信息。字段16为水平精度信息。字段17为垂直精度信息。
private bool ParseGPGSV( string [] Words)
{
int messageNumber = 0 ;
if (Words[ 2 ].Length > 0 )
{
messageNumber = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 2 ]);
}
if (Words[ 3 ].Length > 0 )
{
satellitesInView = Convert.ToInt32(Words[ 3 ]);
}
if (messageNumber == 0 || satellitesInView == 0 )
{
return false ;
}
for ( int i = 1 ; i <= 4 ; ++ i)
{
if ((Words.Length - 1 ) >= (i * 4 + 3 ))
{
int nId = 0 ;
if (Words[i * 4 ].Length > 0 )
{
string id = Words[i * 4 ];
nId = Convert.ToInt32(id);
if ( ! satellites.ContainsKey(nId))
{
satellites[nId] = new GpsSatellite();
satellites[nId].PRC = nId;
}
satellites[nId].InView = true ;
}
if (Words[i * 4 + 1 ].Length > 0 )
{
satellites[nId].Elevation = Convert.ToInt32(Words[i * 4 + 1 ]);
}
if (Words[i * 4 + 2 ].Length > 0 )
{
satellites[nId].Azimuth = Convert.ToInt32(Words[i * 4 + 2 ]);
}
if (Words[i * 4 + 3 ].Length > 0 )
{
satellites[nId].SNR = Convert.ToInt32(Words[i * 4 + 3 ]);
satellites[nId].NotTracking = false ;
}
else
{
satellites[nId].NotTracking = true ;
}
}
}
return true ;
} 复制代码
代码5
从ParseGPGSA看,这个比较特别,他把在使用的卫星信息分开多条语句output。如下:
$GPGSV, 3 , 1 , 12 , 03 , 43 , 246 , 46 , 06 , 57 , 263 , 52 , 09 , 10 , 090 , 00 , 14 , 29 , 357 , 41 * 71
$GPGSV, 3 , 2 , 12 , 15 , 12 , 140 , 00 , 16 , 10 , 307 , 00 , 18 , 59 , 140 , 00 , 19 , 20 , 224 , 00 * 75
$GPGSV, 3 , 3 , 12 , 21 , 48 , 089 , 00 , 22 , 69 , 265 , 36 , 24 , 09 , 076 , 00 , 34 , 00 , 000 , 00 * 76
复制代码
字段1为一共分开多少条语句。字段2为当前语句的序号。字段3为在使用的卫星的数量。后面字段分别表示三个不同卫星的信息,取其中一个卫星来解释,字段4为卫星的ID,字段5为太空海拔,字段6为角度,字段7为信号强弱。
对于厂商的私有NMEA data也是同样的方法进行分析,根据文档的描述进行分析。下面为整个类的代码。
