Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 93 Coordinate Systems S pecifically , a position is up to 90 degr ees north or south of the equator (up to the poles, which are 90˚N and 90˚S; the equator is 0˚ latitude), and up to 180 degrees east or west of the P rime Meridian, which is 0˚ longitude.
Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 94 A UTM position is described by three elements; the zone it is in, the easting, and the northing. Eastings and northings measure how far into a zone a position is in meters. Eastings are an east/west measur ement, and correspond roughly to lon- gitude.
Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 95 What Is GPS? tance between the receiv er and the satellite: this is ranging. Once the receiver has computed range for at least three satellites, its location on the surface of the earth can be determined. Each satellite transmits two types of data, almanac and ephemeris.
Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 96 curacy is a potential risk, and has introduced Selective A vail- ability (SA) to maintain a military advantage. SA is a random error that is introduced to the SPS code ephemeris data and reduces the accuracy of any SPS receiver .
Magellan NA V 6500/NA V 6510 97 Explanation of Data T erms DRIFT . Speed of the current.
