Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth
and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure
signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the
region of 1.0.
When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon in
the top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX.
If NO FIX is displayed, please refer to the Troubleshooting section on
page 49
.
The option to select differential or satellite differential fix is dependent
upon the capabilities of the attached GPS. If your boat is equipped with a Raymarine
GPS, the Differential GPS can be switched on or off using the appropriate soft key.
