HDOP

Applies to

GPSFix objects, GPSSatellitesInView objects

Description

The Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) property indicates the level of confidence in the accuracy of measurements related to latitude and longitude based on current satellite geometry. A lower value indicates greater confidence.

Usage

In scripts

The HDOP property takes a real value. The following example assumes that an HDOP value of 2 or less is required:

li_return = MyGPS.GetFix(myFix)
if (myFix.HDOP <= 2) then
   // continue
else
   // take another reading
end if
