I have some GPS software that indicates HDOP, VDOP, and PDOP. Does anybody know what is the significance of these parameters?

The dilution of precision (DOP) is an indication of the quality of
the results that can be expected from a GPS point position. It is
a measure based solely on the geometry of the satellites and therefore
can be computed without any pseudorange observations being recorded.
DOP values are often expressed in different terms relating to the
propagation of the satellite configuration into the position fix in
its different components.

Sam has already provided an answer for you.
For some GPS-related 'Canadian content' you could take
a look at my website, and there are some links on the
GPS page to Dale's manual, and some Garmin manuals,
which might help with general understaning of GPS.
