magnetic variation to 0 degrees at positions above 70
degrees north or south latitude.
Map Datum: A mathematical model of the earth used for
the purpose of creating navigation charts and maps. The
Apollo 360 contains the set of datums listed in
Appendix B.
Meter (m): A metric distance measurement equal to 39.37
inches.
Minute: 1/60th of a degree.
N
Nautical Mile (nm): A distance measurement equal to
6,076 feet, or 1.15 statute mile. One nautical mile is also
equal to one minute of latitude.
N o n - d i r e c t i o n a l B e a co n ( N D B ) :
A
l o w
frequency/medium frequency navigation aid sending
non-directional signals that can be used for navigation.
P
Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP): A merit value for
the calculated position based on the geometrical
configuration of the satellites used; 3 is considered good,
greater than 7 is considered poor.
R
Radial: Any of the 360 magnetic courses from a VOR or
similar navigational aid, beginning at the navigational aid
and proceeding outward in a straight line.
Range (RNG): The distance from the present position to
a destination waypoint.
S
Second: 1/60th of a minute of a degree.
Seed Position: A latitude and longitude position fix
approximately equal to the current position that the Apollo
360 uses to determine the location of available satellites
from which signals may be received.
