represented by the number of vertical bars. One bar represents valid time and
date fix, two bars represent 2-D fix or dead reckoning, three bars represent 3-D
fix with HDOP higher than 2.0 and four bars represent 3-D fix with HDOP less
than 2.0. Although the nano GPS receiver can often obtain a location fix when the
antenna is partially blocked (near buildings, in a room next to a window, etc.), it
is recommended that the antenna must have a clear view of the sky to minimize
acquisition time and better position accuracy.
