Feature User Guide
• Longitude — expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Number of satellites — used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy.
The maximum is 12 satellites.
• Easting — refers to the eastward-measured distance expressed in meters.
• Northing — refers to the northward-measured distance expressed in meters.
Skipping each digit of easting and northing coordinates decreases the accuracy by the factor of 10.

4.6 GPS — Things to Keep in Mind
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available, the GPS feature of your radio does not work. Such
situations include but are not limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure
• Near a powerful radio or television tower
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground
• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your radio
Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so. Therefore, in any
emergency situation, confirm your location with your dispatcher.
Furthermore, please note that even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature
provides only an approximate location, often within 20–100 meters from your actual location.
