National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA)
National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) is a protocol
by which marine instruments and most GPS receivers can
communicate with each other. NMEA defines the format of
many different GPS message (sentence) types, which are
intended for use by navigational equipment.

Trimble ASCII Interface Protocol (TAIP)
Trimble ASCII Interface Protocol (TAIP) is a digital communi‐
cation interface based on printable ASCII characters over a
serial data link. TAIP was designed specifically for vehicle
tracking applications but has become common in a number of
other applications, such as data terminals and portable
computers, because of its ease of use.

Datum
The GPS datum is the method of ascertaining the position of
the GPS device using a specific reference point location. The
datum used can influence the accuracy of the GPS positioning.
