As an example, if you configure your radio to use **Long Range / Fast**, if you have traveled at least 144 meters and it's been at least 61 seconds since the last position update, a new position broadcast will be sent out. If you've moved less than 144 meters, we will broadcast the position based on the value of `position_broadcast_secs`. -The table below is a summary computed values from the algorithem. +The table below is a summary computed values from the algorithm. | Long Name | Update every x-seconds | Update distance traveled (meters) | | :---: | :---------: | :---------: |
