GPS100 User’s Manual 2. High Enough to have a clear view of the sky to the horizon in all directions unblocked by masts or antennas – The GPS100 provides the best readings when it has access to as many satellites as possible. 3. As far as possible from VHF, satellite, or radar antennas – Radio frequency transmissions from these antennas can interfere with the proper reception of GPS satellite signals by the GPS100. 2.3 Mounting the GPS100 The Maretron GPS100 can be mounted directly

GPS100 User’s Manual Magnetic variation has different values at different locations on the earth with most areas undergoing change to the magnetic variation over time. The GPS100 indicates magnetic variation anywhere on Earth using the World Magnetic Model (WWM2005). It is important to understand that the WMM2005 geomagnetic model only characterizes that portion of the Earth’s magnetic field that is generated in the Earth’s fluid outer core (the main magnetic field).
