Satellite Page Basics

The Satellite Page shows the eTrex gathering all the
necessary satellite information in order to work. There are
two display options on the Satellite Page, Normal Skyview
and Advanced Skyview. Normal Skyview shows you (in
animation), the satellites, satellite signal strength, and the
eTrex' s estimated location accuracy.
To activate the Advanced Skyview page, simply press
ENTER on the Satellite Page, select 'Advanced Skyview'
and press ENTER again. This page displays the numbered
satellites the eTrex is using, their proximity to your cur-
rent position, and their individual signal strengths. To
determine the location of the satellites being used around
you, the outer circle of the display represents the horizon
and the center represents the sky directly overhead.
