¹) TTFF: Time To First Fix, time until the first information about the local position is acquired.

Information for navigation:

• Current position (longitude, latitude, altitude)
• Current speed
• Current time and date
• Current accuracy of the position information
• Status information about the satellites and the receiver
• The information gets updated every second

The GPS receiver switches automatically between 2D and 3D mode, but it can be set to 2D mode by software.
