I would like to request that the PDOP and # of Satellites also be added to the Fulcrum Raw Data that are captured from the External GPS Receiver. PDOP measures the quality of the geometric arrangement of satellites from which a GNSS receiver is obtaining signals. It's a factor that directly influences the accuracy of location data. The number of satellites in view is important also in determining the accuracy of GPS data. However, with fewer satellites, many GPS receivers struggle to produce accurate location estimates and will report “GPS signal lost” at points during the route. When this information is captured, it allows the field crew to "record" the GPS environment for the QAQC in-house team when they are reviewing data.
