    #include <nmea.h>

    NMEA gps(ALL);    // GPS data connection to all sentence types

    void setup() {
      Serial.begin(9600);
      Serial1.begin(4800);
    }

    void loop() {
      if (Serial1.available() > 0 ) {
        // read incoming character from GPS and feed it to NMEA type object
        if (gps.decode(Serial1.read())) {
          // full sentence received
          Serial.print ("Sentence = ");
          Serial.println (gps.sentence());
          Serial.print ("Datatype = ");
          Serial.println (gps.term(0));
          Serial.print ("Number of terms = ");
          Serial.println (gps.terms());
        }
      }
    }
Description | Returns the number of terms in the last sentence that was received. This includes the datatype term, the checksum term, and possibly empty terms. For example, if the last sentence received was `$GPRMC,082804.683,A,5205.9421,N,00506.4368,E,0.02,146.61,190408,,*0C` then the number of terms is 13 (note the two empty terms just before the '*'). If the connection type is NMEA(ALL), all sentence types are received. If the connection type is NMEA(GPRMC), only sentences of type GPRMC are received.
