DOP only includes satellite geometry (not signal strength).

And you can mix all the situations like bad signal with good

dop... :)

But may be you knew that.

Rigtht. DOP only includes satellite geometry. That's why I say that
can't be used for error estimation (at least, not in a reliable
way! :)  ) but you need to consider other parameters.
Anything in my post that let think something else?
Maybe I missed something in my examples of error estimation...

Someone could read your orignal wording as saying that good signal is a
requirement for good DOP but good signals from each satellite (as you are
aware) is not a contributor to good DOP as it only based on the geomentry
not the quality of the signal.


David, thanks for the clarification.
