Hi @damrr,

There isn't necessarily an easy to do this as GGA results do not inherently provide the current day or year of the incoming data. If you had a separate way of keeping track of what the current date is (or by also reading ZDA results if that is available to you), it would then be some simple arithmetic to figure out the corresponding epoch time.

Thanks,
