Dilution of Precision in GPS is one of those concepts which makes my brain hurt. First of all, the fact that it is able to work out its own factor of error, but harder to wrap my head around is the fact that the value is dimensionless.
"The DOP value is 1.2."
"1.2 whats?"
"Just 1.2. But 1.2 is a very good value to have."
