Notes:
1 Depends on multipath environment, number of satellites in view, satellite geometry, no SA, and ionospheric activity
2 Depends on multipath environment, number of satellites in view, WAAS coverage and satellite geometry
3 This is the minimum safe distance measured when the product is placed in the vicinity of the steering magnetic compass. The ISO 694 defines "vicinity" relative to the compass as within 5 m (16.4 ft) separation
4 Based on a 40 second time constant
5 Hemisphere GNSS proprietary
6 Requires a Hemisphere GNSS subscription
7 With future firmware upgrade and activation
