Properties of guiding-center solitons in the particular points along the path of pulses through a fiber are studied. To estimate analytically the particular point of a maximal self-compression the readily available procedure is developed. We focus on the spatial position of the aforementioned point as well as on the value of a maximal compression ratio. The proposed procedure is successfully applied to interpret our experiments on picosecond guiding-center solitons in various orders. Results of our measurements proved to be in a good agreement with the numerical values obtained from the above proposed analytical procedure of estimations and also with computed data known in isolated cases.
