GPSFix

Description

The function of the GPSFix Service is to provide the current GPS solution status and to provide the ability for requesting the UxV to execute a maneuver to acquire a GPS signal allowing the navigation system to update its solution with a GPS fix. The specific maneuver to acquire a GPS signal is intentionally not defined and left for system designers to implement as needed. Note that the latitude and longitude reported with the Report GPS Fix message are the latest data from the satellite, whereas the latitude and longitude from ReportGlobalPose will be from the navigation system.
