Position - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

System Overview
The INFO Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels
due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks
onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the
appropriate satellite PRN number (01-32 or 33-64 for WAAS) below each bar. The
progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar
appearance:
- No bar—Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite
- Gray bar—Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can
be used
- Green bar—Satellite is being used for the GPS solution

POSITION

The Position box on the INFO Page displays latitude, longitude, accuracy (in feet),
reference waypoint, type, distance, direction, and bearing. The reference waypoint is
designed to display the current position in relation to a prominent landmark. The pilot
can change the reference waypoint 'Nearest Type' using the 'Change Nearest Type'
page menu option. By default the Nearest Type is set to 'Automatic', which will display
the nearest large airport, enroute VOR, or city (in that order).
