Detection of indoor and outdoor scenarios is an important resource for many types of activities such as multisensor navigation and location-based services. This research presents the use of NMEA data provided by GPS receivers to characterize different types of scenarios automatically. A set of static tests was performed to evaluate metrics such as number of satellites, positioning solution geometry and carrier-to-receiver noise-density ratio values to detect possible patterns to determine indoor and outdoor scenarios. Subsequently, validation tests are applied to verify that parameters obtained are adequate.
