Attitude -is PGN provides a 
single transmission that describes 
the position of a vessel relative to 
both horizontal and vertical 
planes. This would typically be 
used for vessel stabilization, 
vessel control and onboard 
platform stabilization.

Magnetic Variation - Message for 
transmitting variation. The 
message contains a sequence 
number to allow synchronization 
of other messages such as 
Heading or Course over Ground. 
The quality of service and age of 
service are provided to enable 
recipients to determine an 
appropriate level of service if 
multiple transmissions exist.

Speed - The purpose of this PGN 
is to provide a single 
transmission that describes the 
motion of a vessel.

Position, Rapid Update - This 
PGN provides latitude and 
longitude referenced to WGS84. 
Being defined as single frame 
message, as opposed to other 
PGNs that include latitude and 
longitude and are defined as fast 
or multi-packet, this PGN lends 
itself to being transmitted more 
frequently without using up 
excessive bandwidth on the bus 
for the benefit of receiving 
equipment that may require rapid 
position updates.

COG & SOG, Rapid Update - 
This PGN is a single frame PGN 
that provides Course Over 
Ground (COG) and Speed Over 
Ground (SOG).
