Hi Carl,

the app doesn't "force" you to activate certain NMEA messages. It really depends on your usecase what message make sense.
If you only want to use the location of your external device for navigation the RMC message would be sufficient.
If you want to see a satellite list you have to activate the GSV and GSA messages. (GSA show the "used" for pos-calculation info)
For accuracy informations please activate the GST message. To reduce useless data flow deactivate all binary messages.

FYI: If you don't already know you see the amount of transferred data on the terminal page. (on top of page)

Cheers,
Markus

P.S. The surprising thing about the Weinberg quote is its truth! :mrgreen:
There is no code so big, twisted, or complex that maintenance can't make it worse. (Gerald M. Weinberg)
