There is usually an accuracy number 0=GPS , 1=DGPs(differential-GPS), but beyond that you may want to visit the link listed below for more information. It includes info. on Garmin Marine GPS products.

Not just whether there is a sufficient fix for 2D or 3D location, but the accuracy in terms of feet, as presented in the QueGPS application. Unless that app is accessing an undocumented feature of the GPS libarary, which is always possible, I must just be missing something. Anybody have an idea how to get this? > > David > ========================= > Pikesoft Mobile Computing > www.pikesoft.com > -- > For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
