The GPS Applications Menu

Clicking the arrow to the right of the icon opens the GPS Applications menu. This menu can be used to quickly launch applications that require GPS input (such as mapping utilities and other location-based applications).

By default, there are no applications listed here, but you can add GPS applications to the menu in the GPS Applications window. (See “Adding a GPS Application to the GPS Applications Window” on page 58 for more information.)

GPS Data Fields

The following data fields appear on the Location/GPS tab of the Settings window and in the menu that appears when you hover over the GPS icon in the main window:

Number of Satellites – The number of satellites your GPS receiver has acquired. At least three are required to provide latitude and longitude and four are required to provide an altitude. Additional satellites provide greater accuracy (seven or more is considered excellent).

HEPE – Horizontal Estimated Position Error. This is a measure of the accuracy of your calculated position. So, if the HEPE is 43 feet, you could be as much as 43 feet from the coordinates indicated by your device’s GPS receiver.

Latitude – Your current latitude, expressed in degrees and rounded to four decimal places. Positive numbers are used for locations north of the equator. Negative numbers are used for locations south of the equator. Zero is the equator itself.

Longitude – Your current longitude, expressed in degrees and rounded to four decimal places. Positive numbers indicate locations east of the Prime Meridian (which passes through Greenwich, England). Negative numbers indicate locations west of the Prime Meridian.

Elevation – Your current altitude above Sea Level (in feet). Note that because of the inherent difficultly in determining altitude via GPS, the margin of error for altitude may be larger than the HEPE (the margin of error for latitude and longitude).

Speed – The estimated speed at which you are moving.

Heading – The approximate direction in which you are moving. Compass headings range from 0 degrees (due north) to 360 degrees, with 90 being due east, 180 due south, and 270 degrees due west.

GPS Port/NMEA Port – The next available NMEA Port available for use by a GPS application. Some applications require you to enter this port number.
