1. Depending on the number of satellites tracked, multiple messages of GSV data may be
required. In some software versions, the maximum number of satellites reported as visible is
limited to 12, even though more may be visible.

1. A valid status is derived from all the parameters set in the software. This includes the
minimum number of satellites required, any DOP mask setting, presence of DGPS
corrections, etc. If the default or current software setting requires that a factor is met, then if
that factor is not met the solution will be marked as invalid.
2. SiRF Technology Inc. does not support magnetic declination. All “course over ground” data
