Basically, what ikegami said.

Just one frame doesn't help much when reverse engineering this, especially when you don't know what data to expect. Surely there is some software to go with it that displays human-readable data? Check the lat/long/alt values that it reports and try to estimate how much it jitters. From that you can calculate a range of values to expect. Altitude should be easiest as it's most likely a 16-bit integer of meters and you just have to guess little- or big-endian. Lat/Lon could be fixed or floating point. A timestamp should also be fairly easy to spot as it changes by roughly the same amount between two packets.

Have you asked the manufacturer at all? Their site is really not very informative but perhaps they're customer-friendly enough to give you the specs.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
