GPS encodes this information into the navigation message and modulates it onto both the C/A and P(Y) ranging codes at 50 bit/s. The navigation message format described in this section is called LNAV data (for legacy navigation). The navigation message conveys information of three types: The GPS date and time, and the satellite's status.
The GPS week number rollover is a phenomenon that happens every 1,024 weeks, which is about 19.6 years. The Global Positioning System (GPS) broadcasts a date, including a week number counter that is stored in only ten binary digits , whose range is therefore 0–1,023.
GPS dates are expressed as a week number and a day-of-week number, with the week number initially using a ten-bit value and modernised GPS navigation messages using a 13-bit field. Ten-bit systems would roll over every 1024 weeks (about 19.6 years) after Sunday 6 January 1980 (the GPS epoch ), and 13-bit systems roll over every 8192 weeks.
As opposed to the year, month, and day format of the Gregorian calendar, the GPS date is expressed as a week number and a seconds-into-week number. The week number is transmitted as a ten- bit field in the C/A and P(Y) navigation messages, and so it becomes zero again every 1,024 weeks (19.6 years).
RTCM Version 3, initially released in February 2004, [5] is the current and continually evolving version of the RTCM standard. In contrast to 2.3, version 3.x uses a variable-length message format and a single 24-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) on the entire message as opposed to a 6-bit parity for every 30-bit word.

GPS Exchange Format (GPX) is an XML schema designed as a common GPS data format for software applications. It can be used to describe waypoints, tracks, and routes. It is an open format [2] and can be used without the need to pay license fees. Location data (and optionally elevation, time, and other information) is stored in tags and can be ...
