Navigation Screens
23
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 keep track of the distance you’ve travelled.
• A graphical battery indicator provides you with information on the current condition of the AA batteries
in the eXplorist.
