[time-nuts] GPS position survey

[Magnus Danielson]

I was using 90 deg = 10000000 m as approximation. I forgot about the sign but as I recall the leading 1 is surpressed. 360 deg on 25 bits. Reducing approx gave me 10 and 3 bits.
Cheers
Magnus

Earth circumference is around 25,000 miles -> 132E6 feet.  24 bit mantissa (23 bits plus sign)  gives a resolution in this application of around 15.7 feet since negative measurements don't apply.
-----------------------
Oh... 24 bit mantissa should give 1.25 m resolution if my headcounting is about right
