GPS MTK 1.6 firmaware and hdop

Hello, could some of the tech guys explain what is the new hdop feature in the latest MediaTek Firmware?

If I understand it is something to do with accuracy of the GPS signal but the value is much higher than what literature says.

I see in the comments that it is in cm. so basically if I have a hdop of 200 I am quite sure my accuracy is in between 2 meters, is that cosrrect?

Second question regard position. If I look in Google Maps/ Earth there is quite a difference in positioning:10-20 meters. Is that also correct? how could I check if I have everything set-up correctly?

 

THanks,

Emile
