Figure 4-2: GPS Status Screen

The GPS Navigation Status screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite number, a graphical signal strength bar and its current usage status. Data for up to 12 satellites are shown.

Positional accuracy is dependent upon certain parameters; in particular for GPS, the azimuth and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate position. HDOP (Horizontal Dilution Of Position) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure signifies greater error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the region of 1.0. The Fix Status can indicate:

•FIX, where a satellite fix has been acquired.

•D-FIX, where a differential beacon fix has been acquired.

•SD-FIX, where a satellite differential fix has been acquired.

•NO FIX, where no fix can be acquired.

Fix Mode

Fix Mode provides selection of the method used to acquire a position fix.
