TRACK HOLDING
Your GlobalMap 12 has a special feature called "Track Holding" that pre-
vents the unit from showing random numbers on the navigation screens
when you're travelling less than 3 miles per hour. These random numbers
are mostly caused by S/A (Selective Availability). S/A is random errors
introduced into the GPS satellite network by the government to degrade
the system's accuracy to the general public. The error can be as bad as
100 meters and 5 m.p.h., which is within the government's GPS specifi-
cations. You can see this happening when you're standing still with the
track holding feature turned off. With it turned off, your present position
will move on the map even though you’re standing still.
The track holding feature works by locking the track at the last known
direction when you slow below three miles per hour. Above three miles
per hour, the track holding feature is disabled. This feature is automati-
cally activated when the unit is turned on for the first time or after you
preset it.
