    This is the packet GeoTag Pro writes to the camera's location characteristic for a fix at the Sydney Opera House. 95 bytes, big-endian, no checksum. Watch it decode, then pick a field or a byte to read it.

    Public packet only. The camera also needs a validation handshake and timing beyond the public spec, and those are not published here. The format builds on the community's ILCE7M3ExternalGps protocol notes.
