Solid Earth Tide
Positions with Solid Earth Tide (SET) provide better vertical (primarily) and horizontal
positioning accuracy, to account for gravitational effects placed on terrain from celestial bodies
(i.e. the Sun, Moon, etc.). SET corrections are applied to the reported position only in StarFire
navigation mode.
The SET message is a NavCom proprietary NMEA type message. It conforms to the header,
checksum, and electrical characteristics of a standard NMEA string, but is not recognized by the
NMEA governing body as an officially sanctioned message. Refer to
for a detailed
description of the NMEA Type message structure.

Requirements for output of SET corrections
If the criteria below are met, the receiver applies the SET corrections to the position solution.
The Solid Earth Tide window displays SET North, East, and Up corrections in millimeters when
SET is applied (see Figure 117).
