Hello Ravi,
RINEX stands for Receiver Independent Exchange File Format and=20 NMEA stands for National Marine Electronics Association's Standards for data transmission.
NMEA is proprietary and you will not find the complete detail unless you buy the document from them (www.nmea.org), but it's a simple text format, where as RINEX is open standard.
If you want to know more on NMEA just follow this link http://vancouver-webpages.com/pub/peter/nmeafaq.txt
for RINEX follow this: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/Rinex2.html
Hope this helps, if you got more Q's then consult this site: http://joe.mehaffey.com/
Cheers,
Ganesh

Hello, I am looking for some information on Standard GPS file formats, which most of the vendors use. Can anybody explain me what's the difference between RINEX, NEMA etc. And if there any other standard formats other than these two..?
Thanks Ravi
