1 Measurement precision, accuracy and reliability are dependent upon various factors including number of satellites, geometry,
obstructions, observation time, ephemeris accuracy, ionospheric conditions, multipath etc. Figures quoted assume normal to
favorable conditions. Times required are dependent upon various factors including number of satellites, geometry, ionospheric
conditions, multipath etc. GPS and GLONASS can increase performance and accuracy by up to 30% relative to GPS only. A full
Galileo and GPS L5 constellation will further increase measurement performance and accuracy.

2 Might vary due to atmospheric conditions, signal multipath, obstructions, signal geometry and number of tracked signals.

3 Might vary with temperatures, age of battery, transmit power of data link device.
