Relative position
The relative position function allows you to compare two GPS locations. By doing so you can determine the distance between the two locations, the direction from one to another (relative to true North), the difference in alti- tude and the difference in timestamps.
Note:
The GPS system by its nature often reports large errors in the altitude parameter, if you experience a large unexpected offset in ele- vation this is not a defect in your GPS receiv- er.
Relative position menu
The relative position menu is available when you have a Current Position, when you are
receiving locations in the Continuous Posi- tion and when you receive a special GPS SMS. In all of these cases, a relative position can be calculated against a stored waypoint. You may also calculate the relative position between any two stored waypoints.
Invert
When in the relative position display, the in- vert function can be selected to swap the compared points. This changes the direction by 180° and inverts the sign on the elevation and timestamp differences. When the invert function is on, the first line of the informa- tion display starts with *.

Receiving a GPS way point
When your mobile phone receives a GPS waypoint via SMS the display will prompt you to save it in waypoint memory, compute rel- ative position, send out as SMS message or reject it. Received GPS waypoints are not stored with your SMS messages; they are saved in waypoint memory. If all 10 GPS waypoint locations are full then saving a GPS waypoint will overwrite the existing GPS waypoint in the selected location.
Note:
Only specially coded GPS waypoints are rec- ognized by your mobile phone software.
