reference is Week # 0 starting January 6, 1980. The seconds count
begins at the midnight which begins each Sunday morning.

Accurate Initial Position (XYZ Cartesian ECEF)
Command
This packet is identical in content to packet 23. This packet provides
an initial position to the GPS receiver in XYZ coordinates. However,
the GPS receiver assumes the position provided in this packet to be
accurate. This packet is used for satellite acquisition aiding in systems
where another source of position is available and in time transfer
(one-satellite mode) applications. For acquisition aiding, the position
provided by the user to the GPS receiver in this packet should be
accurate to a few kilometers. For high-accuracy time transfer,
position should be accurate to a few meters. TRAIM flags come on if
this position is not accurate enough.
