  1. 1GPS units can be programmed to log positions only during the day. Night-ON represents units set to continuously collect positions whereas Night-OFF represented units set to collect positions only during the day and crepuscule (05:00 am to 9:00 pm).
  2. 2The night option was not tested because of the short battery life of units at this collection frequency.
