Important information to remember:

Keep in mind that the GPS requires a clear skyview (clouds don't matter) to work well. Stay
clear of tall buildings, trees or similar that might block your (and therefore the GPS's) view of
the sky.

For a GPS to locate itself, it is required to 'see' to at least four (4) satellites. You can view how
many satellites the GPS is 'seeing' by selecting the SATELLITE menu icon (the last icon on the
main functions menu screen). This will bring up a screen displaying the location of satellites
'seen' by the GPS at that time (below shows that the GPS can 'see' 12 satellites at that particular
time).
