Notes:

  • 1). The NSSDA Horizontal Accuracy calculates a 95% confidence level(i. e. 95 out of 100 times the GPS accuracy will be equal to or better than NSSDA calculated distance from the true location).
  • 2). For more information on NSSDA testing check out the following link: NSSDA Standards
  • 3). Some results are an average of more than one test run.
  • 4). Data is collected after allowing sufficient time for the GPS device to acquire a current almanac and ephemeris data.
