Not Position Ambiguity, but position precision, or lack thereof. 
Depending on how many significant digits of the lat/lon are sent, a 
correct sized box appears showing where the station could *really* exist.

Contrast with Position Ambiguity where the sending station intentionally 
replaces significant digits with spaces. This is drawn with a 
stipple-filled box in Xastir. It is able to be turned off. The other isn't.
