SBD Session Status

Successful: The SBD session completed successfully.
Unacceptable quality: The MO message transfer, if any, was successful. The reported location was determined to be of unacceptable quality.

Approximate Location

Whenever we receive a packet from the Iridium satellites, we also receive an approximate position of the unit. This is based on doppler shift calculations from the Iridium satellites themselves and varies wildly in accuracy. Some positions can be within 1-2km, some can be as inaccurate as 200km. We show the circle of precision on the map, to give you an approximate location of your unit.
