Heading. x, y, z, and heading are all based on the NAV net that Jason personnel deploy prior to the cruise. They convert these to GPS coordinates, but do a reanalysis of nav (re-nav) at the end of the dive. For GPS coordinates, see the virtual van website: http://4dgeo.whoi.edu/webdata/virtualvan/html/VV-tn293/index.html
