==API==
{{UGapih}}

===Data Structures===

===Functions===

{{UGapi|boolean PositionFixStatus [get]
|Returns the position fix status. True indicated that a position fix is available, and latitude, longitude, and altitude can be read. False indicates that no position fix is available.
}}

{{UGapi|double Latitude [get]
|Returns the current latitude of the active antenna in signed decimal degree format.
}}

{{UGapi|double Longitude [get]
|Returns the current longitude of the active antenna in signed decimal degree format.
}}

{{UGapi|double Altitude [get]
|Returns the current altitude of the active antenna from mean sea level (geoid), range is from -9999.9 to 17999.9. Units are in meters.
}}

{{UGapi|double Velocity [get]
|Returns the current speed over ground of the active antenna in km/h. Has a maximum value of 1800.0.
}}

{{UGapi|double Heading [get]
|Returns the current true course over ground of the active antenna in degrees (000.0 - 359.9). 000.0 indicates True North, 180.0 indicates True South.
}}

{{UGapi|struct Time [get]
|Returns the current time as transmitted by the GPS receiver. Time is in UTC format.
}}

{{UGapi|struct Date [get]
|Returns the date of the last received position. Date is in UTC.
}}
