Average a Waypoint
When you average a waypoint, the PN-Series GPS records
a series of GPS readings for the waypoint’s location and
averages them to increase the positional accuracy of the
waypoint. As you average the waypoint, the GPS status,
coordinates, elevation, number of readings at the location,
and estimated accuracy display. The more readings you
record, the greater the positional accuracy of the waypoint.
The estimated accuracy number decreases as the accuracy
improves.
A waypoint is averaged based on your current GPS
location.
