GPS Status

Signals are transmitted by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth. The
Satellite Signal Strengths 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. The strength of each satellite is displayed on a bar chart.
From the Main Menu screen, select Preferences  More Preferences  GPS status.
The Satellite Signal Strengths screen will display.
You can also access this screen from the 2D Map and 3D Map screens by tapping the North-
oriented compass.
The circle on the right side of the screen displays green when there is a valid fix (2D or 3D) and red
when no fix is available. A fix will be obtained more quickly if the vehicle is stationary than if it is moving.
The satellites available from your current position are shown as grey, red and green coloured bars:
