GPS Format Options

The GPS Format Options entry sets how GPS information is formatted on the GPS

screen and in the user-status areas.

If you want to show GPS information as:

• decimal degrees and minutes, select Degrees and Minutes (MinDec)

• decimal degrees, select Decimal Degrees (DegDec)

• degrees, minutes and seconds, select Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS)

• a UTM grid reference, select Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)

Default value: Degrees and Minutes (MinDec)

NOTE: The format of GPS information in the My Position entry, pop-ups,

Call Log and Call History is DDMM.SSSS S, DDDMM.SSSS E, for

example, 3452.82 S, 13841.26 E.

My Position

The My Position entry enables you to enter static GPS information for a fixed

station, which typically does not have a GPS receiver attached. The transceiver uses

this reference information to perform automatic distance and bearing calculations to a

waypoint.

NOTE: Automatic distance and bearing calculations only occur when the GPS

Call option is installed.
