GPS Course
NOTE:
The course and speed normally show small speeds and various courses when the vehicle in not moving.
This cell displays direction of travel, in degrees, relative to true north (zero degrees) as measured by the receiver. Angle is measured in clockwise direction.
GPS Speed
This cell shows ground speed of vehicle in kilometers per hour (mile per hour) as measured by the receiver.
Position Mode
This cell shows status of GPS signal: 2-D (two dimensional with latitude and longitude of vehicle) or 3-D (three dimensional with altitude, latitude, and longitude of vehicle).
This cell also shows status of differential signal: SF1 (SFire 1 differential), and SF2 (SFire 2 differential).
Corrections Age (SEC)
This cell shows the age of the differential correction signal to the GPS (normally less than 10 seconds).
Elevation Mask
This cell shows the angle above the horizon below which GPS satellites are not used for positioning. Low
|
elevation satellites produce less accurate positioning. This elevation mask may drop if there are too few satellites above 10° for a good position.
Satellites above Mask
This cell displays number of satellites being tracked by the GPS receiver above defined mask.
Satellites in Solution
This cell shows number of satellites actively used to compute position.
PDOP, HDOP and VDOP
This cell shows precision of GPS position signal. Precision of signal is affected by geometry of satellites being used.
