There is a new update on github : SW 605g. Lots of changes :
Several "GPS Nerd settings" added, as max nr of sats (too prevent lost points), min elevation sats.
Screen can be inverted in the config
500 m track measurement with Start and Finish in the config, added stat screens for 500m track
Several bugfixes

Greetings, Jan
### Changes SW 6.05g
* bugfix screen 6 / shut down screen
* Added maxSVS in config, to limit nr of sats in nav solution. This for "lost points" prevention
* GPS nerd settings button in configuration webpageto hide all detailed gps settings
* p1/p2 data type in json is now string, so all digits stay unchanged
* check for string type p1/p2, other wise panic when still double type !!!
* Auto track setting when p1/p2 is zero in the config : first 500m run with speed min 5 m/s after 600 m run distance
### Changes SW 6.05delta
* settings M10 added tot .txt file
* full power mode in the config
* Added setting M10 minimal elevation satellite above horizon, 5 - 25 degrees
* Stat-screen D 5-9 track speed, update Top_5()
* Stat-screen E Ranking Nautical mile screen
* Stat-screen F Ranking 100m screen
* track_speed Start -> finish now with exact doppler - distance
* added projected doppler speed to track speed (only in stat screen now)
* json buffer now 2048 bytes (was 1536)
* Screen orientation now in config, had to update GXDEM0213B74 lib, and bugfix for screen offset (added VISIBLE_WIDTH 122)
### Changes SW 6.05beta
* Added max nr of satellites in config (motion has a fix limit of 18)
* Added "track-speed" measurement between 2 gps points, start and finishline perpendicular to start / finish point
* Added stat-screen B with distance to start line, gps distance track, track-speed and doppler speed.
* Added speed-screen F with distance to start line and track seconds passed
* Best 5 track runs are added to *.txt file (track speed and doppler speed, but doppler is for 250m (track distance<350m) or 500m.
* Added SD-nand breakout files to github (easy eda format)
* Added 3D housing files to github (stl + dxf for lasercutting)
* GPST post 1h knots bugfix

Yesterday, I had a low wind session @ my homespot. I tested 4 PMMA-case ESP-GPS with next configurations :
1. Arm mount, BE182 partly covered, sats limited to 18 in the SW (motion setting)
2. Arm mount, BE182 free sight, sats limited to 18 in the SW (motion setting)
3. Boom mount, BE182 partly covered, unlimited sats (avg 26 sats)
4. Boom mount, BE182, partly covered, unlimited sats (avg 26 sats)
If you look at the HDOP numbers, nr 1 was worst. The other 3 were more or less the same. I am not sure why nr 1 was worst, maybe due to partly covered BE182, maybe because the hard limit of 18 sats. The 3 and 4 did perform the same as nr 1, but they received avg 26 sats. As walways, the speeds were higher with the arm mount units.
In my opinion, it does not make a huge difference if the Beitian is partly covered.
