GPS Question

[Ronder Magden]

Hello all

I'm using the GPS Sample from the SDK, but I wonder what are the differences
between these variables:

GetSatellitesInSolution
GetSatellitesInView
SatelliteCount

ok, InView is logic, but what is the difference between SatellitesInSolution
and SatelliteCount?

Many Thanks

Looking at the code it looks as though GetSatellitesInSolution() figures out
which satalites from the pool of satallites (total satallites) are actually
being used at any one time.

This is the method here:

public Satellite[] GetSatellitesInSolution()
{
Satellite[] inViewSatellites = GetSatellitesInView();
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
for (int index = 0; index < dwSatelliteCount; index++)
{
Satellite found = null;
for (int viewIndex = 0; viewIndex < inViewSatellites.Length
&& found == null; viewIndex++)
{
if (rgdwSatellitesUsedPRNs[index] ==
inViewSatellites[viewIndex].Id)
{
found = inViewSatellites[viewIndex];
list.Add(found);
}
}
}

return (Satellite[])list.ToArray(typeof(Satellite));
}

SatalliteCount just gives the total number of satallites known but not
nessessarily being used.
