and the angle between the receiver and satellites as a constellation seen by the
receiver. A satellite near the horizon usually provides a lower quality signal
because of greater atmospheric interference and the increased likelihood of the
signal reflecting from surface features; this is known as "multipath" error. The
effect of geometry on GPS quality is measured by PDOP (position dilution of
precision). PDOP is the overall measure of the precision obtainable with a given

When a message is set to On Change, the data is output each time new data is
available as determined by the Navigation Rate setting. For example, if a position

the Navigation Rate is 5Hz, a 0xb1 solution is output 1 tim

The NMEA messages GGA, RMC, and VTG match the output of the navigation

The quality of GPS data is dependent on the geometry between the receiver and
