GPS coverage and receiver performance. This is helpful when you may be experienc-
ing low signal levels due to poor coverage or installation problems.

until the satellite status page appears.
The top line of the status page displays the receiver status and the current posi-
tion accuracy in DOP or EPE. The default setting is DOP.
The following functions may be displayed in the DOP/EPE field:
• dop— Dilution of Precision, a measure of the satellite geometry quality
and relative accuracy of your position, with 1 meaning good
geometry and 10 meaning poor.

accuracy in feet or meters using signal and data quality, receiver
tracking status and DOP.
