12-4 GPS Info Window
The GPS Info window provides the following GPS information:
Tracked Satellites
Shows the number of tracked satellites (three are required to retrieve latitude and longitude,
four are required to resolve altitude). Generally, the larger number of satellites tracked, the
more accurate the information.
Latitude and Longitude
Shows location in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
Altitude
Shows altitude information in meters.
UTC
Universal Coordinated Time.
Fix Available
The cold start search sets are established to ensure that at least three satellites are acquired
within the first couple of minutes. When three satellites are found, the receiver will compute
an initial fix (typically in less than two minutes).
Fix Not Available means that the initial
position has not been established.
