Latitude / Longi-
tude
Satellites
• Time — indicates when the last time the location was calculated. The time is provided in Universal Time
Coordinated.
• Letter Code — grid zone or square on the map for different coordinate standard
• Latitude — expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Longitude — expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
• Number of satellites — used to calculate the location. In general, more satellites make for better accuracy. The
maximum is 12 satellites.
• Easting — refers to the eastward-measured distance expressed in meters.
• Northing — refers to the northward-measured distance expressed in meters.
Note: Skipping each digit of easting and northing coordinates decreases the accuracy by the factor of 10.

Changing GPS Accuracy

Procedure:
1 From the home screen, press the
2 Select More . . . → Location → Accuracy.
3 Select one of the following:
• Medium (default) — Power consumption optimization is combined with less position accuracy.
• High – Better position accuracy is combined with less power consumption optimization.
Note: If connected to an external charging device, the radio automatically enters the High mode.
GPS – Things to Keep in Mind
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available, the GPS feature of your radio does not work. Such
