Figure 4-3: GPS Status Screen and Soft Key
The GPS STATUS screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite
number, a graphical signal strength bar, status, azimuth angle and its
elevation angle from your vessel.
Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the
azimuth and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to
calculate your 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:
•
•
•
