Hi Klaynos, Thanks for the reply. I dont know how is calculating in GPS?

Hi Endy0816, Thanks for the reply. The image i've attached shows the NMEA protocol string. The string data starts with $GPRMC has knots value. for example $GPRMC,123519,A,4807.038,N,01131.000,E,022.4,084.4,230394,003.1,W*6A Where: RMC -Recommended Minimum sentence C 123519 -Fix taken at 12:35:19 UTC A -Status A=active or V=Void. 4807.038,N - Latitude 48 deg 07.038' N 01131.000,E - Longitude 11 deg 31.000' E 022.4 - Speed over the ground in knots 084.4 - Track angle in degrees True 230394 - Date - 23rd of March 1994 003.1,W - Magnetic Variation *6A - The checksum data, always begins with * the image i've attached has knots 4.34, and next GPRMC data string has 4, next has 4.29, 4 and so on... Here is that i have to calculate difference between two knots and time, then multiply the two values? for example 4.34 - 4= 0.34 knot and time 5 sec - 8sec = 3 sec, so the distance is 0.34*3=1.02 .? Is my calculation is correct?

Hi guys, I'm using L80 quectel GPS module. Which sends the NMEA protocol data string which has latitude, longitude, UTC time, knots, etc. We are going to use this GPS module in a vehicle. We have to calculate the distance travel by the vehicle using GPS. We have to show the total distance travel by the vehicle like an odometer. Is it possible to calculate total distance travelled by vehicles using "knots" value from a GPS? If it is possible, then how to calculate? Thanks..
