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 large 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).
