Parse GPS String for Time and Coordinates

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

// Parse simplified GPRMC sentence
void parse_gprmc(char *nmea) {
    char *fields[7];
    int index = 0;

    // Tokenize by comma
    char *token = strtok(nmea, ",");
    while (token != NULL && index < 7) {
        fields[index++] = token;
        token = strtok(NULL, ",");
    }

    // Extract time
    char *t = fields[1];
    printf("Time: %.2s:%.2s:%.2s\n", t, t+2, t+4);

    // Latitude
    printf("Latitude: %s %s\n", fields[3], fields[4]);

    // Longitude
    printf("Longitude: %s %s", fields[5], fields[6]);
}

int main() {
    char nmea[100];
    fgets(nmea, sizeof(nmea), stdin);
    parse_gprmc(nmea);
    return 0;
}
