/** This class <b>stores messages</b> from GNSS or GNSS+IMU devices, from
 * consumer-grade inexpensive GPS receivers to Novatel/Topcon/... advanced RTK
 * solutions.
 *
 *  See mrpt::hwdrivers::CGPSInterface for a class capable of reading from a
 * serial port or any input stream and \b parsing the ASCII/binary stream into
 *  indivual messages \b stored in mrpt::obs::CObservationGPS objects.
 *
 *  Supported message types are:
 *  - NMEA 0183 (ASCII): GGA, RMC
 *  - Topcon GRIL (Binary): PZS, SATS
 *  - Novatel GNSS/SPAN OEM6 (Binary): See list of log packets under namespace
 * mrpt::obs::gnss and in enum type mrpt::obs::gnss::gnss_message_type_t
 *
 *  Note that this object has \b two timestamp fields:
 *  - The standard CObservation::timestamp field in the base class, which should
 * contain the accurate satellite-based UTC timestamp, and
 *  - the field CObservationGPS::originalReceivedTimestamp, with the local
 * computer-based timestamp based on the reception of the message in the
 * computer.
 *
 * Normally, users read and write messages by means of these methods:
 *  - CObservationGPS::getMsgByClass()
 *  - CObservationGPS::setMsg()
 *  - CObservationGPS::hasMsgType()
 *  - CObservationGPS::hasMsgClass()
 *
 * Example access to GPS datum:
 * \code
 * mrpt::obs::CObservationGPS obs;
 * //...
 * if (obs.hasMsgClass<mrpt::obs::gnss::Message_NMEA_GGA>()) {
 *   const mrpt::obs::gnss::Message_NMEA_GGA &gga =
 * o.getMsgByClass<mrpt::obs::gnss::Message_NMEA_GGA>();
 *   //gga.fields.XXX ...
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * \note <b>[API changed in MRPT 1.4.0]</b> mrpt::obs::CObservationGPS now
 * stores message objects in a more flexible way. API clean-up and extended so
 * the number of GNSS message types is larger and more scalable.
 * \note Porting old code: For example, replace `observation.GGA_datum.XXX` with
 * `observation.getMsgByClass<gnss::Message_NMEA_GGA>().fields.XXX`, etc.
