GPS
Position
The GPS Position page shows the calculated
Latitude and Longitude, as well as its Position
Dilution of Precision (PDOP). The PDOP value,
shown below “PDOP,” is based on the geometry of
the satellites used in the position solution. A lower
number is a better value than a larger one. A PDOP
value of 3 will provide a more reliable position fix
than a value of 7.
In the Navigation function, turn the Large knob to
display the GPS Position page. The PDOP value is
shown in the lower, right corner (1.9 is shown here).
