+ <p>For capability reporting, indicates the device is capable of

+
+ <p>For location reporting, devices supporting this capability return
+ an array mapping timestamps to specific NMEA sentences (D-Bus
+ signature 'a(ss)'). The manager will cache the most recent NMEA
+ sentence of each type for a period of time not less than 30 seconds
+ and must indicate the time that sentence was receieved from the device
+ using the timestamp. Timestamps are provided as strings in the "Unix
+ epoch" format (i.e. number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
+ with microsecond resolution if available).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For example, if at time 1268336242.282202 the device sends a $GPRMC
+ sentence immediately followed by a $GPGGA sentence, the reported
+ location array would be:
+ <pre>
+ [ '1268336242.282202': '$GPRMC,134523.92,V,,,,,,,030136,,,N*73',
+ '1268336242.282202': '$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,0.0001999,M,0.0000099,0000*45' ]
+ </pre>
+ If the device sends a new $GPRMC three seconds later, the new $GPRMC
+ replaces the previously received $GPRMC sentence, and the updated array
+ would be:
+ <pre>
+ [ '1268336245.282202': '$GPRMC,134526.92,V,,,,,,,030136,,,N*76',
+ '1268336242.282202': '$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,0.0001999,M,0.0000099,0000*45' ]
+ </pre>
+ If the device then sends a $GPGSA sentence about 5 seconds later, the
+ $GPGSA sentence is added to the array (since no $GPGSA sentence was
+ previously received in this session), the updated array would be:
+ <pre>
+ [ '1268336245.282202': '$GPRMC,134526.92,V,,,,,,,030136,,,N*76',
+ '1268336242.282202': '$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,0.0001999,M,0.0000099,0000*45'
+ '1268336250.395423': '$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,1.1,0.5,1.0*34' ]
+ </pre>
+ The manager may discard any entries older than 30 seconds.
+ </p>
+ <p>This allows clients to read the latest positioning data as soon as
+ possible after they start, even if the device is not providing
+ frequent location data updates. Using the timestamp the client can
+ determine which data is most relevant to its particular uses.
