GPS accuracy depends upon the parameters shown, especially the
azimuth and elevation angles which are used in triangulation to cal-
culate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of GPS accu-
racy; a higher figure signifies a greater positional error. In ideal
circumstances, the figure should be in the region of 1.0.
