Description
This function returns a list of satellites used for a position fix. The
structure, npFixSvSelType, has the current constellation of satellites
used in doing a position fix. It also contains modes of operation flags
and DOP values. Notice that a negative cSvUsed number indicates that
an SV was not included for the position fix calculation because of poor
integrity. For detailed descriptions, refer to npFixSvSelType, page 42.
