No thank you, I decline, bending tree's is even more frowned upon then bending bumpers(in Holland that is) Anyway , someone suggested that my hydraulics might be the problem since I could not depress the pedal more than half way until big brother took over.

Berg" <jeff@purpleshark.com> Date: Fri, 9 Oct 1998 14:18:17 -0400 Subject: re: GPS as Speedo GPS may be acceptable as a speedo so long as you understand something about how it works. Because of Selective Availability--the dithering of the satellite signal to reduce its accuracy and make us all safer from terrorist attack--most GPS units are set to average the position readings for greater accuracy. With averaging turned off, your position from moment to moment, as displayed by the GPS receiver, "jumps" all over the place. The "speed over ground" displayed is a calculated using this average over a period of time and is not necessarily your true speed at any given moment of time. So while it's a decent indication of your highway speed as you cruise along on the flat, it's not necessarily what you want to count on as you crest a steep hill and begin descending down past that fund-raising speed trap. Try this test: Drive along a country lane--or another appropriate venue--for a few minutes at 45-55mph. Pull over and stop. How long does it take your displayed speed over ground to reach 0mph? Does it ever do so? Sometimes even with averaging "on" the unit will show a drift of several MPH--even while you remain still. This is especially true with older 4-channel serial GPS receivers. A note to boaters, or anyone who wants to set accurate waypoints. Because of this averaging you can't just hit the 'set waypoint' button on the fly. Doing so may result in a significant error when you return to the waypoint--that error being DOUBLE the time over which waypoints are averaged, as you must remember that the unit is still averaging when you return. (I haven't done a clear job of explaining this, but will pull the necessary references and do a better report if requested to do so.) Bottom line:to get the most accurate waypoint possible, stop your boat (vehicle) as best you can, and wait for the speed over ground to read "0" before you record the waypoint. By the way, I believe SA is currently scheduled to be phased out sometime during the year 2006. At that time GPS units, even the cheap 4-channel units, will become really accurate! One more issue, older GPS units have a "millenium" (or Y2K) issue all their own. Except it kicks in in 1999. I believe Magellan's site has a full report on this issue--look into it if you depend on GPS. Used wisely, the GPS will serve the purpose you propose, but it's like any other tool.

In theory, the accuracy varies in order to prevent the 'enemy' from using the GPS signals to score an accurate hit on the 'good guys'. Well, being a fairly active sailor, I have noticed that with my 6 year old GPS, the accuracy tends to vary by something in the order of one or two hundreds of yards.

Yup... it's just to mess up any guidance system that might be dependant on GPS signals.

I have always read the oil level with the dipstick screwed down into its hole. After all, this is how other fluid levels are checked; you push the dipsticks in as far as they will go.

Selective Availability is not a dithering. The defintion of dither is 1. shiver, tremble or 2. to act nerviously or indecisively. The error does not jump around--it wanders. If you have an error jump around like noise, you just average a few points and you increase your accuracy. SA was specifically designed to counter averaging over short periods of time (as in less than 10 minutes). GPS uses the orbits of the satellites and the timestamp of then the signal leaves the satellite to determine your position. SA introduces a programmed lie in the timestamp and reported orbits at that time. The program is that of a "drunken walk". The effect is that second to second the error changes very little. The reported accuracy for a civian GPS is that 95% of the time your reported location will be within 100 meters of your true location. (Though the US Gov't can change this within 48 hours of deciding to do so) SA induces about 30m of error in the range to a particular satellite. To test this on various days I have taken a data point every 10 seconds for 24 hours and plotted the data. Obeserved that the reported location was a walk and that it wandered all over. At one point the reported location was 258 meters away from the average from that 24 hour period. Now it depends upon how you define terrorist. The purpose of SA was to prevent GPS receivers from being used to guide missiles onto surface targets. 100 meters is too far off to make a cuise missle effective, however it is closed enough for nukes. This is also why all civilian GPS receivers will not work if you are going more than 1000 knots or it used to be if they were above 60,000 feet. Averaging only works to increase your accuracy if you are standing still. If you are moving this is an extremely bad idea. I have a Garmin 12XL. I have plotted hundreds of points off of maps and entered them into my GPS as a waypoint and then driven by them at 70 mph. The GPS always reports that I'm within 100 meters of the target when I pass it (and typically <50m). If the GPS were averaging, this would not happen. > The "speed over ground" displayed is a calculated using this average over a > period of time and is not necessarily your true speed at any given moment > of time. No is it us your average speed over a few seconds, not your speed over averaged locations. I.E if your speeds were: second 1: 55.8 second 2: 55.7 second 3: 55.6 second 4: 55.5 second 5: 55.4 In Second 5 it would report 55.6. > take your displayed speed over ground to reach 0mph?

This is especially true with older [snip] > By the way, I believe SA is currently scheduled to be phased out sometime > during the year 2006. At that time GPS units, even the cheap 4-channel SA is only one part of GPS error. In finding the range to a given satellite the following effect the answer: Ionosphere: About 1 to 30m of error based on time of day and lattitue. The Ionosphere is highly variable. GPS satellites broadcast a model to try to compentate for this, but it is only 50% to 75% effective. US military models use a seconds frequency to get rid of this effect. Atmospheric: This is based on the density of the atmosphere at your position. It can induce an error of up to 2.3 meters (if the satellite is directly overhead). However, if one uses altitude to caluclate this, the error can be mosly removed (though high and low pressure will bring some of it back) Orbit and Satellite Clock Error: The orbital characteristics (before SA is induced) is really a prediction that is uploaded to the satellite dayly by the US Air Force. It is their best guess asto where each satellite will be that day. Also the satellites atomic clocks are resynced each day. This facter is the largest part of error on military GPS receivers. It induces a few meter error. Multipath: Signals can bounce off of metal surfaces, etc. Some antennas can filter most of this out. This is a variable error since it depends on the path that the signal took. Receiver Noise: Thermal noise from your GPS unit will add error to range of at least 1 meter. The geometry of the Satellites currently being used for your position fix can also be a factor.

I've seen a conversion of a Rangie from a VM 2.5L turbo diesel (the standard diesel for some years) to a 300Tdi in Oz. It was a big job because many of the ancilliaries had to be swapped from one side of the car to the other ie. air cleaners, radiator over flow tanks etc. In the USA, the GM 6.5 (?) litre diesel is probably the cheapest engine to source. You could buy a fitting kit from the UK. - check LROI for prices. By the way, the VM 2.5L diesel is the engine sold in the Jeep Cherokee in Australia and Europe.
