1.
A valid status is derived from all the parameters set in the software. This includes the
minimum number of satellites required, any DOP mask setting, presence of DGPS
corrections, etc. If the default or current software setting requires that a factor is met, then if
that factor is not met the solution will be marked as invalid.
2.
SiRF Technology Inc. does not support magnetic declination. All "course over ground" data
are geodetic WGS84 directions relative to true North.
3.
Position was calculated based on one or more of the SVs having their states derived from
almanac parameters, as opposed to ephemerides.
