NMEA 0183 is a commonly used specification for use with bridge equipment such as that found in INS or IBS systems. NMEA 2000 (sometimes known as NMEA2k or N2K) is another standard which has some advantages over the much-used NMEA 0183. It provides greater network control and integration by allowing multiple items of equipment to send data back and forth at the same time.

Garmin GPS 18x 5Hz is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) high-sensitivity GPS sensor that used National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) transfer protocol NMEA 0183 for transmitting GPS data. Sampling frequency is 5 Hz, input DC voltage 4–5.5 V. Device was connected to a computer with RS 232 to USB adaptor ADAM 4561. Position accuracy is <3 m (95%) and velocity accuracy is 0.1 knot RMS steady state (1 knot = 1.852 km/h). Garmin GPS 18x 5Hz is RS 232 compatible asynchronous receiver and a transfer rate was 19,200 bounds. The NMEA 0183 output sentence GPRMC was used that includes Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time and date, position data (latitude, longitude), speed over ground, course over ground, magnetic variation and mode indicator. Properties of this GPS sensor and its advantages in vehicle applications were reported in [63,64]. Garmin GPS 18x 5 Hz sensor gives similar results with the professional systems, enough accurate but at a much lower cost [63,64].
