Hi,

My cave survey freeware connects to a GPS for surface tracking. When I
connect to a Bluetooth GPS, the GGA and GSA NMEA sentences provide
various flavors of DOP values (PDOP, HDOP, VDOP). How can I provide
users with a rough error value in meters (as most GPS units do) from
these unitless numbers?
