Page 23: Glossary
Glossary Almanac data A set of information that transmitted by each GPS satellite in orbit and the state of every satellite in the GPS constellation. Each GPS satellite contains and transmits the almanac data set for the entire GPS satellite system network. Almanac data allows the GPS receiver to rapidly acquire satellites shortly after it is turned on. - Page 24 Decibel. A notation of relative unit such as the satellite signal strength received. Datum A math model which depicts a part of the surface of the earth. Latitude and longitude lines on a paper map are referenced to a specific map datum. The map datum selected on a GPS receiver needs to match the datum listed on the corresponding paper map in order for the position readings to match.

Latitude A north/south measurement of position perpendicular to the earth's polar axis. Longitude An east/west measurement of position in relation to the Prime Meridian, an imaginary circle that passes through the north and south poles.
- Page 26 Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) UTC is the time as maintained by the U.S. Naval Observatory. Because of variations in the Earth's rotation, UTC is sometimes adjusted by an integer second. The accumulation of these adjustments compared to GPS time, which runs continuously, has resulted in an offset between GPS time and UTC.
