NAME

Net::GPSD::Point - Provides an object interface for a gps point.

SYNOPSIS

 use Net::GPSD;
 $gps = new Net::GPSD(host => 'localhost',
                      port => 2947
                );
 my $point=$gps->get(); #$point is a Net::GPSD::Point object
 print $point->latlon. "\n";

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

fix

Returns true if mode is fixed (logic based on the gpsd M[0] or O[14])

status

Returns DGPS status. (maps to gpsd S command first data element)

datetime

Returns datetime. (maps to gpsd D command first data element)

tag

Returns a tag identifying the last sentence received. (maps to gpsd O command first data element)

time

Returns Seconds since the Unix epoch, UTC. May have a fractional part of up to .01sec precision. (maps to gpsd O command second data element)

errortime

Returns estimated timestamp error (%f, seconds, 95% confidence). (maps to gpsd O command third data element)

latitude aka lat

Returns Latitude as in the P report (%f, degrees). (maps to gpsd O command fourth data element)

longitude aka lon

Returns Longitude as in the P report (%f, degrees). (maps to gpsd O command fifth data element)

latlon

Returns Latitude, Longitude as an array in array context and as a space joined string in scalar context

altitude aka alt

Returns the current altitude, meters above mean sea level. (maps to gpsd O command sixth data element)

errorhorizontal

Returns Horizontal error estimate as in the E report (%f, meters). (maps to gpsd O command seventh data element)

errorvertical

Returns Vertical error estimate as in the E report (%f, meters). (maps to gpsd O command eighth data element)

heading

Returns Track as in the T report (%f, degrees). (maps to gpsd O command ninth data element)

speed

Returns Speed (%f, meters/sec). Note: older versions of the O command reported this field in knots. (maps to gpsd O command tenth data element)

climb

Returns Vertical velocity as in the U report (%f, meters/sec). (maps to gpsd O command 11th data element)

errorheading

Returns Error estimate for course (%f, degrees, 95% confidence). (maps to gpsd O command 12th data element)

errorspeed

Returns Error estimate for speed (%f, meters/sec, 95% confidence). Note: older versions of the O command reported this field in knots. (maps to gpsd O command 13th data element)

errorclimb

Returns Estimated error for climb/sink (%f, meters/sec, 95% confidence). (maps to gpsd O command 14th data element)

mode

Returns The NMEA mode. 0=no mode value yet seen, 1=no fix, 2=2D (no altitude), 3=3D (with altitude). (maps to gpsd M command first data element)
