If a numeric value does not fill its entire field width, the field is padded
with leading '0's (eg. an altitude of 50 meters above MSL will be output as
"+00050").
Any or all of the data in the text sentence (except for the sentence start
and sentence end fields) may be replaced with underscores to indicate
invalid data.
