  21                 <h4>Description</h4>
  22                 <p>This driver supports the Magnavox MX4200 Navigation Receiver adapted to precision timing applications. This driver supports all compatible receivers such as the 6-channel MX4200, MX4200D, and the 12-channel MX9212, MX9012R, MX9112.</p>

They now market and support former Magnavox GPS products such as the MX4200 and its successors.</p>

  26                 <h4>Operating Modes</h4>
  27                 <p>This driver supports two modes of operation, static and mobile, controlled by clock flag 2.</p>
  28                 <p>In static mode (the default) the driver assumes that the GPS antenna is in a fixed location. The receiver is initially placed in a &quot;Static, 3D Nav&quot; mode, where latitude, longitude, elevation and time are calculated for a fixed station. An average position is calculated from this data. After 24 hours, the receiver is placed into a &quot;Known Position&quot; mode, initialized with the calculated position, and then solves only for time.</p>
  29                 <p>In mobile mode, the driver assumes the GPS antenna is mounted on a moving platform such as a car, ship, or aircraft. The receiver is placed in &quot;Dynamic, 3D Nav&quot; mode and solves for position, altitude and time while moving. No position averaging is performed.</p>
  30                 <h4>Monitor Data</h4>
  31                 <p>The driver writes each timecode as received to the <tt>clockstats</tt> file. Documentation for the <cite>NMEA-0183</cite> proprietary sentences produced by the MX4200 can be found in <a href="mx4200data.html">MX4200 Receiver Data Format</a>.</p>
