| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Latitude | Displays the latitude of the GPS device. |
| Longitude | Displays the longitude of the GPS device. |
| Elevation | Displays the elevation of the GPS device. |
| Heading | Displays the heading of the GPS device. |
| Velocity | Displays the velocity of the GPS device. |
| Time | Displays the GPS device's current date and time. |
| Fix Dimension | Displays whether the dimension of the fix is 2D or 3D. |
| Fix Type | Displays the fix. The Autonomous option is calculated solely from the GPS navigation satellites; Differential means the fix was calculated using WAAS or a ground-based differential technique; Estimated means the GPS device does not have a fix but is estimating the fix based on some other information; Simulated means the GPS device is simulating GPS signal reception. |
| Dilution of Precision (DOP) | Indicates confidence in the GPS position. Lower numbers indicate a more accurate position. |
| Horizontal DOP | Indicates confidence in the horizontal GPS position. |
| Vertical DOP | Indicates confidence in the vertical GPS position. |
| X | Displays the X coordinate of the GPS device on the geographic coordinate system of the active model. |
| Y | Displays the Y coordinate of the GPS device on the geographic coordinate system of the active model. |
| Z | Displays the Z coordinate of the GPS device on the geographic coordinate system of the active model. |
