GPS Information Page

The steering guidance controller (SGC steering guidance controller) provides some general GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System diagnostic data from the GNSS receiver. To review GNSS data from the connected receiver:

Note:  Some pages and options may differ based upon how the machine or implement is configured.

1. From the auto-steer Home page, select the Tools button.

   

2. Select the GPS Setup tab.

   

3. Select the GPS Information button. The following diagnostic information is displayed:

   

   The GPS Information page displays the following data:

Latitude

The angular distance of a point north or south of the earth equator.

Longitude

The angular distance of a point east or west of the meridian at Greenwich, England.

Elevation (MSL)

The height of the GNSS antenna in reference to sea level.

Speed

Current speed based on GNSS measurements.

GGA Quality (Mode)

The current convergence state of the GNSS receiver.

• 0 = No data received.
• 1 = Single solution, no differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. corrections being received.
• 2 = SBAS converged, GLIDE®, GS-Lite converged, Satellite GS converging.
• 3 = N/A
• 4 = RTK Real-time Kinematic converged, Satellite GS (500S™) converged.
• 5 = RTK Float, Satellite GS converged.
• 6 = Dead Reckoning.

Number of Satellites

The number of satellites currently in view by the GNSS receiver.

HDOP

If all of the satellites in view are from the same direction, the number will be higher and the accuracy will be reduced.

Heading

The machine direction of travel.

Differential ID

The ID of the differential source used to obtain the solution.

Age of Differential

Time (in seconds) since the last differential correction was received. If a differential source is not currently tracked this entry will be “- - - -”.
