GLOSSARY OF TERMS
2-D, 3-D
Refers to two-dimensional and three-dimensional positions. A 2-D position
provides latitude and longitude only. In a 2-D position fix, the altitude is assumed
to be fixed. Only three satellites are required to do a 2-D position. A 3-D
position fix provides the altitude in addition to the latitude and longitude and
requires four satellites.
- A -
ACPOS
Accurate Position.
Almanac
A reduced precision subset of the ephemeris parameters. The almanac data is
used by the GPS satellite receiver to compute the elevation and azimuth angle of
the satellite. Each satellite broadcasts the almanacs for all satellites.
ALT
Altitude.
Anywhere Fix
The ability of a receiver to start position calculations without being given an approximate
location and appropriate time.
APPOS
Approximate
Position.
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Azimuth
The angle for true North of the horizontal projection of the line of sight vector measured
clockwise.
AZM
