Package to parse NMEA strings and publish a very simple GPS message. Does not require or use the GPSD daemon.
Description
This package provides multiple driver nodes to read NMEA sentences from GPS devices via different connection methods (serial port, UDP socket, TCP client, or ROS topic) and publish navigation satellite fix information. The drivers parse standard NMEA messages (GGA, RMC, GST, GSA, etc.) and publish data as ROS messages including NavSatFix, Velocity, and TimeReference.
