Operator's Manual
Decimals In Lat/Lon:
The software allows you to select from 2 to 5 decimal
places in records containing position or waypoint informa-
tion. It has been our experience that other manufacturers
sometimes hard code these data records to 2 decimal places
(approximately 18 meters for each change in the hundreds
place value). The receiver provides you the flexibility to
match the expected input on these devices, even though it is
capable of outputting to the hundred thousands place
(approximately 18 millimeters for each change in this place
value). While the receiver can output to this level of
accuracy, don't forget that the receiver is a 80 cm to 1.5 m
accurate DGPS receiver at best with DGPS corrections at
once per second intervals. In a normal marine environment,
your accuracy will be about 2 to 5 meters when receiving
DGPS corrections from a beacon transmitter.
Decimals In BRG or HDG:
The receiver allows you to select from 0 to 1 decimal places
in records containing bearing information.
