If you need to parse a message that contains an unsupported sentence type you can implement and register your own message parser and get yourself unblocked immediately. Check the example below to know how to implement and register a custom message parser. However, if you think your custom message parser could be beneficial to other users we encourage you to contribute back to the library by submitting a PR and get it included in the list of supported sentences.

Examples

Built-in message parsing

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"github.com/adrianmo/go-nmea"
)

func main() {
	sentence := "$GPRMC,220516,A,5133.82,N,00042.24,W,173.8,231.8,130694,004.2,W*70"
	s, err := nmea.Parse(sentence)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if s.DataType() == nmea.TypeRMC {
		m := s.(nmea.RMC)
		fmt.Printf("Raw sentence: %v\n", m)
		fmt.Printf("Time: %s\n", m.Time)
		fmt.Printf("Validity: %s\n", m.Validity)
		fmt.Printf("Latitude GPS: %s\n", nmea.FormatGPS(m.Latitude))
		fmt.Printf("Latitude DMS: %s\n", nmea.FormatDMS(m.Latitude))
		fmt.Printf("Longitude GPS: %s\n", nmea.FormatGPS(m.Longitude))
		fmt.Printf("Longitude DMS: %s\n", nmea.FormatDMS(m.Longitude))
		fmt.Printf("Speed: %f\n", m.Speed)
		fmt.Printf("Course: %f\n", m.Course)
		fmt.Printf("Date: %s\n", m.Date)
		fmt.Printf("Variation: %f\n", m.Variation)
	}
}

Output:

$ go run main/main.go

Raw sentence: $GPRMC,220516,A,5133.82,N,00042.24,W,173.8,231.8,130694,004.2,W*70
Time: 22:05:16.0000
Validity: A
Latitude GPS: 5133.8200
Latitude DMS: 51° 33' 49.200000"
Longitude GPS: 042.2400
Longitude DMS: 0° 42' 14.400000"
Speed: 173.800000
Course: 231.800000
Date: 13/06/94
Variation: -4.200000

Customize sentence parser

Parser logic can be customized by creating nmea.SentenceParser instance and by providing callback implementations.

p := nmea.SentenceParser{
    CustomParsers: nil,
    ParsePrefix:   nil,
    CheckCRC:      nil,
    OnTagBlock:    nil,
}
s, err := p.Parse("$GPRMC,220516,A,5133.82,N,00042.24,W,173.8,231.8,130694,004.2,W*70")

TAG Blocks

NMEA 4.10 TAG Block values can be accessed via the message's TagBlock struct:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"time"
	"github.com/adrianmo/go-nmea"
)

func main() {
	sentence := "\\s:Satelite_1,c:1553390539*62\\!AIVDM,1,1,,A,13M@ah0025QdPDTCOl`K6`nV00Sv,0*52"
	s, err := nmea.Parse(sentence)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	parsed := s.(nmea.VDMVDO)
	fmt.Printf("TAG Block timestamp: %v\n", time.Unix(parsed.TagBlock.Time, 0))
	fmt.Printf("TAG Block source:    %v\n", parsed.TagBlock.Source)
}

Output (locale/time zone dependent):

$  go run main/main.go

TAG Block timestamp: 2019-03-24 14:22:19 +1300 NZDT
TAG Block source:    Satelite_1

Custom message parsing

If you need to parse a message not supported by the library you can implement your own message parsing. The following example implements a parser for the hypothetical XYZ NMEA sentence type.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/adrianmo/go-nmea"
)

// A type to hold the parsed record
type XYZType struct {
	nmea.BaseSentence
	Time    nmea.Time
	Counter int64
	Label   string
	Value   float64
}

func main() {
	// Do this once it will error if you register the same type multiple times
	err := nmea.RegisterParser("XYZ", func(s nmea.BaseSentence) (nmea.Sentence, error) {
		// This example uses the package builtin parsing helpers
		// you can implement your own parsing logic also
		p := nmea.NewParser(s)
		return XYZType{
			BaseSentence: s,
			Time:         p.Time(0, "time"),
			Label:        p.String(1, "label"),
			Counter:      p.Int64(2, "counter"),
			Value:        p.Float64(3, "value"),
		}, p.Err()
	})

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	sentence := "$00XYZ,220516,A,23,5133.82,W*42"
	s, err := nmea.Parse(sentence)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	switch m := s.(type) {
	case XYZType:
		fmt.Printf("Raw sentence: %v\n", m)
		fmt.Printf("Time: %s\n", m.Time)
		fmt.Printf("Label: %s\n", m.Label)
		fmt.Printf("Counter: %d\n", m.Counter)
		fmt.Printf("Value: %f\n", m.Value)
	default:
		panic("Could not parse XYZ sentence")
	}
}

Output:

$ go run main/main.go

Raw sentence: $AAXYZ,220516,A,23,5133.82,W*42
Time: 22:05:16.0000
Label: A
Counter: 23
Value: 5133.820000

Message parsing with optional values

Some messages have optional fields. By default, omitted numeric values are set to 0. In situations where you need finer control to distinguish between an undefined value and an actual 0, you can register types overriding existing sentences, using nmea.Int64 and nmea.Float64 instead of int64 and float64. The matching parsing methods are (*Parser).NullInt64 and (*Parser).NullFloat64. Both nmea.Int64 and nmea.Float64 contains a numeric field Value which is defined only if the field Valid is true.

See below example for a modified VTG sentence parser:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/adrianmo/go-nmea"
)

// VTG represents track & speed data.
// http://aprs.gids.nl/nmea/#vtg
type VTG struct {
	nmea.BaseSentence
	TrueTrack        nmea.Float64
	MagneticTrack    nmea.Float64
	GroundSpeedKnots nmea.Float64
	GroundSpeedKPH   nmea.Float64
}

func main() {
	nmea.MustRegisterParser("VTG", func(s nmea.BaseSentence) (nmea.Sentence, error) {
		p := nmea.NewParser(s)
		return VTG{
			BaseSentence:     s,
			TrueTrack:        p.NullFloat64(0, "true track"),
			MagneticTrack:    p.NullFloat64(2, "magnetic track"),
			GroundSpeedKnots: p.NullFloat64(4, "ground speed (knots)"),
			GroundSpeedKPH:   p.NullFloat64(6, "ground speed (km/h)"),
		}, p.Err()
	})

	sentence := "$GPVTG,140.88,T,,M,8.04,N,14.89,K,D*05"
	s, err := nmea.Parse(sentence)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	m, ok := s.(VTG)
	if !ok {
		panic("Could not parse VTG sentence")
	}
	fmt.Printf("Raw sentence: %v\n", m)
	fmt.Printf("TrueTrack: %v\n", m.TrueTrack)
	fmt.Printf("MagneticTrack: %v\n", m.MagneticTrack)
	fmt.Printf("GroundSpeedKnots: %v\n", m.GroundSpeedKnots)
	fmt.Printf("GroundSpeedKPH: %v\n", m.GroundSpeedKPH)
}

Output:

$ go run main/main.go

Raw sentence: $GPVTG,140.88,T,,M,8.04,N,14.89,K,D*05
TrueTrack: {140.88 true}
MagneticTrack: {0 false}
GroundSpeedKnots: {8.04 true}
GroundSpeedKPH: {14.89 true}
