GNSS Location: Features,
Use and Optimization
When enabled, the GNSS Location feature provides active location ref-
erencing information to aid in measurement mapping.
HDoP:
Actively transitions from a high to low value as the level of
precision improves. It may increase in value if conditions degrade. Val-
ues typically range between 9.99 to as low as 0.2. The value will appear
blank until satellites in range are received and precision is calculated.
Sats: Active number of satellites used for position and location
measurements. The value will increase from 00 as more satellites
are received and used.
Location Reference Arrow Icon:
Transitions with changes in conditions, available satellites, and higher
levels of precision are reached.
Blank icon - GNSS feature is enabled and not ready for location
referencing of measurements. Measurements made with this icon
will not have a geo-referenced location.
Partially Shaded - HDoP level is high and the satellite count is
low. Measurements will have geo-referenced coordinates with a
low level of accuracy (< 10m typical).
Dark Shaded - High satellite count without supplemental aug-
mentation. Measurement location accuracy will depend on HDoP
and Sats count.
Dark Shaded with Blank Dot - Low Satellite count with supple-
mental augmentation available to improve accuracy. Measure-
ment location accuracy will depend on HDoP.
Dark Shaded with crosshair - High satellite count with supple-
mental augmentation available to improve accuracy. Measure-
ment location accuracy is optimal (< 2.5m) and will depend on
HDoP.
Clock icon; HDoP: Z.zz - GNSS Power Save has placed the re-
ceiver in standby mode. Press READ|Down button to resume.
Note: First reading will have a slight delay.
