8. GPS Status
Signals are transmitted by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth. This screen provides a visual
representation of the information being received. Latitude and longitude are displayed, along with a North-pointing
compass, the heading in degrees and ground speed. Satellites available are shown as segments.
From the Main Menu, select Settings > More Settings
> GPS Status. The GPS Status screen will display.
• Yellow — a satellite is being tracked but is not being used
• Red — a satellite is being used to determine a two dimensional (2D) fix
• Green — the satellite is being used to determine your position.
The circle under the sattelite segments is green when there is a valid fix (2D or 3D), and red when there is no fix. While
a 2D fix is sufficient to maintain a valid fix, a 3D fix is more accurate.
Satellite Signal Strength
From the GPS Status screen, press the Page button to display the Satellite
Signal Strengths screen. The strength of each satellite is displayed on a bar
chart.
The circle on the right-hand side of the screen displays green when there is
a valid fix (2D or 3D), and red when no fix is available. The satellites available
from your current position are shown as bars.
• Grey — no signal at all
• Red — this signal is not being used to fix your position
• Green — this signal is being used to fix your position.
Satellite Position Indicators
From the Satellite Signal Strengths screen, press the Page button to
display the Satellite analysis screen. The position of each satellite is shown
in relation to Earth. You can view the status and performance of a satellite
by selecting it using the 8-way toggle. The satellite performance will
display.
Each satellite is represented by a small empty circle.
• Grey circle — no signal
• Red circle — a signal not being used to fix your position
• Green circle — a signal being used to fix your position
• Yellow satellite icon — shows the current satellite.
