Global Positioning System
Location information generated by the device itself is embedded in the SBD attachment sent via
the Iridium Gateway and can only be seen through the Xeos Online system or situations where
the position information is sent in a plain-text format (XeosOnline message forwarder or using
the $msgenable command). This position information is accurate to within several feet of the
true position.

This means that using the Lat/Long that the

the device sending the message is within a circle, 2 kilometers
in radius, with the Lat/Long given as the centre of that circle.
The higher the CEPradius value, the larger the circle and
therefore the less accurate that position.
