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.
