mileage info

Ping,, that is funny,, it is a receiver only... You need a transmitter to send a ping.

How often does it refresh the Lat/Long signal from the satellites would be a better way to frame the question.

I asked and am awaiting an answer.

The signal is received every second. Internal calculations are shorter to provide a more smooth flow to the movement that will allow a more precise calculation for mileage.

It would be interesting to find out why they want to know... probably if too great a time, then they will figure in a error factor and add miles that were not logged into the program.

Can you send me the Link to the IFTA page you are filling out?

Some interesting reading.

Now to add to the bubble,, the mileage is gotten from the Map Database. The GPS simply records your position from Point A to Point B traveling x min in a segment, recording that length from the map database into the mileage log.

 

Is there a form number on it?

 

My next question would be,, will they take your word for the "time" of the signal or will they need something Official to support that?
