Position Screen
The Position screen provides detailed position information in a text format that is familiar to
seasoned navigators.
Highlights of the
Position screen:
• Position is displayed in textual format using the coordinate system selected. (See
Setting Coordinate System for information on how to select the coordinate system.)
• Elevation information is displayed. (Accurate when four or more satellites are being
used to compute the position.)
• Computed accuracy of the position computed is displayed. WAAS is also displayed in
the Accuracy field when the eXplorist is using WAAS information to increase the
accuracy of the position fix.
• Date and time are shown, automatically adjusted from time information supplied from
the atomic clocks in the GPS satellites.
• A resettable trip odometer to keeps track of the distance you’ve travelled.
• A graphical battery indicator provides you with information on the current condition of
the LI-Ion battery in the eXplorist. It also displays a ‘charging’ icon when you have the
eXplorist connected to external power.
