Setting the Speed Filter
The speed lter setting on the GPS 17x can help reduce unnecessary drift-alarm triggers
as well as potentially sporadic position information. The speed lter averages the data
provided by the GPS 17x to provide smoother position data updates. The speed lter is
most helpful when stationary or in low-speed situations.
