Collecting Data
All satellites needed for position fix are being
tracked and position is being computed.
Averaging
Meridian is computing fixes; speed is near 0.0
so position is being averaged.
EPE xxft
Estimated Position Error in feet. Meridian is
computing fixes while moving.
DGPS
Computed fixes are being differentially
corrected.
Since the Meridian is a 12-channel receiver, once the first satellite is
found, finding the remaining satellites and computing a fix may take
only a few seconds.
Selecting the Position Screen —
Allows you to toggle between the two
Position screens. This allows the same position to be displayed in
different coordinate systems. This is useful when comparing navigation
data between devices and charts that use different coordinate systems.
The screen viewed can be changed by pressing the Left or Right arrows
while viewing the Position screen.
You can change the coordinate system displayed by following the
instructions in Setup - Selecting the Coordinate System.
