This is the GPS data, if a GPS antenna is connected to the modem. Otherwise, it will mostly be just commas with no data. GPS data represents:

UTC time (hhmmss.sss)UTC time (hhmmss.sss)
Latitude (ddmm.mmmm N/S)
Longitude(dddmm.mmmm E/W)
HDOP, Altitude (meters), Fix (0=invalid, 2=2D fix, 3=3D fix)
Course over ground (degrees), Speed over ground (Km/hr), Speed over ground (knots)
Date of fix (ddmmyy), Number of satellites
in usein use


For Quectel modem:

TX-> at+qgpsgnmea="rmc"
RX-> +QGPSGNMEA: $GPRMC,213806.00,A,3853.585246,N,09447.491297,W,3.9,0.0,131020,2.2,E,A*23


This is the GPS data, if a GPS antenna is connected to the modem. Otherwise, it will mostly be just commas with no data. GPS data represents:

UTC time (hhmmss.sss).  A=active, V=void

Longitude(dddmm.mmmm E/W)
Speed over ground (knots), Track angle (degrees)
Date of fix (ddmmyy), Magnetic variation (E/W), checksum data

Sending AT+CSQ
Received[40]->   +CSQ: 28,3    OK

To convert latitude/longitude to decimal degrees, use  dd + (mm.mmmm/60), as dd.dddd (negative for S or W).

To convert to degree/minute/second, multiply fractional  (.mmmm*60)=ss.ss  for seconds, as dd° mm' ss.ss".

The first number after +CSQ is the signal strength. 99=no signal, 0-31 indicates increasing strength (0 = -113 dBm, 31 = -51 dBm, in steps of 2 dBm per CSQ number).
The second number is the bit error rate (BER). 0=best, 7=worst.

Repeat? (y/n) n 


Then press Enter to exit the modem diagnostics, or  A/  to repeat the last command (AT+CSQ, signal strength).
Or enter an 'AT' modem string to manually send a command to the modem.
