A-5 GPS Plotter Almanac Each GPS satellite broadcasts its own orbital data as well as general orbital data of all other GPS satellites. This general orbital data is called the Almanac. The GPS receiver receives the Almanac and decodes it to calculate the quantity and elevation angle of satellites in view , to know when it can receive the GPS signal[...]

A-6 Magnetic variation offset The location of the magnetic north pole is dif- ferent from the geographical north pole. This causes a difference between the true and mag- netic north direction. This dif ference is called magnetic variation, and varies with respect to the observation point on the earth. This varia- tion may be entered automatically o[...]
