GPS status

This page shows the status of the GPS module.

The GPS module of C-Pilot EVO is very sensitive and can receive signals from GPS satellites even
situations where common receivers would fail.
Satellite positions are shown inside a schematic view of the sky, shown North up. The outer circle
represents the horizon; the inner one has an elevation of 45°. Satellites are displayed as small,
numbered circles placed according to their position (at least where the receiver thinks they are) in
the sky.
A grey circle means that the GPS module is not receiving any signal from that satellite. A red circle
is used when there are incoming data from that satellite, but it is not yet being used to calculate your
position. The green circle indicates that the satellite is fixed. The "filling level" of the circle represents
the quality of the signal.
When the fix is complete, at least 4 satellites in use are shown in green. The kind of fix (3D or 2D) is
reported above the scheme.
On the right of the page you will find the fix data: UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time and date,
altitude, speed, and coordinates (shown in the selected format). If the fix is not valid, data are
greyed out.
When the 3D fix is not available ("2D fix" or "no fix" are shown), C-Pilot PRO cannot record your
position and the track log will not be updated. In this case, the GPS data shown on the right,
