Detailed Description

Class to hold a date (year, month, day) value.

Member Function Documentation

age()

uint32_t TinyGPSDate::age ( ) const

inline

Returns the age of the value in milliseconds.

If the value is not valid, then ULONG_MAX is returned.

You might check to see if age is < 10000 to make sure the value has been retrieved in the last 10 seconds, for example.

invalidate()

void TinyGPSDate::invalidate ( )

inline

Sets the valid flag to false (marks data as invalid)

This is used internally when we get a valid GPS sentence that does not have a fix. It can be checked by using the isValid() method.

isUpdated()

bool TinyGPSDate::isUpdated ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the value has been updated.

Getting the value clears the updated flag, and commiting a change sets it.

isValid()

bool TinyGPSDate::isValid ( ) const

inline

Returns true if the data is valid.

The valid flag will be false if the GPS loses its fix, but will not be invalidated if the GPS stops returning data. If that is a possibility, you should also check the age.
