Object

HeadingAndDeclination

Constructors

HeadingAndDeclination(Angle, Nullable<Angle>, Nullable<Angle>)	Constructs a new HDG sentence
HeadingAndDeclination(TalkerId, IEnumerable<String>, DateTimeOffset)	Magnetic heading message
HeadingAndDeclination(TalkerSentence, DateTimeOffset)	Internal constructor

Properties

Age	Age of this message (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
DateTime	The time tag on this message (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
Declination	Magnetic declination (sometimes also called variation) at current location. Usually derived from the NOAA magnetic field model by one of the attached devices.
Deviation	Deviation at current location. Usually unknown (empty). Not sure what this field means. The deviation is a property of the actual compass and the current orientation, not the location.
HeadingMagnetic	Magnetic heading (derived from true heading and declination)
HeadingTrue	Angle of the wind
Id	This sentence's id
ReplacesOlderInstance	This is true for this message type
SentenceId	The sentence Id of this packet (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
TalkerId	The talker (sender) of this message (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
Valid	True if the contents of this message are valid / understood This is false if the message type could be decoded, but the contents seem invalid or there's no useful data (Inherited from NmeaSentence)

Methods

AgeTo(DateTimeOffset)	The relative age of this sentence against a time stamp. Useful when analyzing recorded data, where "now" should also be a time in the past. (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
ReadChar(IEnumerator<String>)	Decodes the next field into a char (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
ReadInt(IEnumerator<String>)	Decodes the next field into an int (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
ReadString(IEnumerator<String>)	Decodes the next field into a string (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
ReadValue(IEnumerator<String>)	Decodes the next field into a double (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
ToNmeaMessage()	Translates the properties of this instance into an NMEA message (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
ToNmeaParameterList()	Presents this message as output
ToReadableContent()	Gets an user-readable string about this message
ToString()	Generates a readable instance of this string. Not overridable, use ToReadableContent() to override. (this is to prevent confusion with ToNmeaMessage().) Do not use this method to create an NMEA sentence. (Inherited from NmeaSentence)
