SA Watch (GPS receiver analyzer)
SA Watch allows you to monitor and analyze the wandering that your GPS receiver appears to do when it is at a fixed location. Originally, this wandering was largely the result of SA - Selective Availability - DOD - speak for the deliberate degradation of the accuracy of your GPS signal. When SA was eliminated as a source of position error, we got our first good look at the remaining errors. SA Watch lets you see these graphically and statistically.
