Terrain Compensation

Explanation

For accurate positioning and guidance, it is important to perform terrain compensa-
tion as this feature allows the mojoXact Plus to calculate the position of the GPS
antenna as the vehicle navigates unlevel terrain. This is demonstrated by the picture
below which illustrates a vehicle tilting as it would on hilly terrain. Without terrain
compensation, the position of the vehicle is shown by the uncorrected position. With
terrain compensation, the position of the vehicle is the corrected position. The differ-
ence in these two positions is obvious, clearly demonstrating why the use of terrain
compensation is necessary for accurate positioning and guidance.
