The
Position
screen provides detailed position information in a text format that is familiar to seasoned
navigators.
Highlights of the
Position
screen:

See Setting Coordinate
System for information on how to select the coordinate system
.)

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.

clocks in the GPS satellites.

A resettable trip odometer to keep track of the distance you’ve travelled.
