GPS Information Page
The GPS Information page provides a visual reference of GPS receiver functions, including current
satellite coverage, receiver status, and position accuracy. As the StreetPilot 2610/2650 locks onto satellites,
a signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite number (from 01-32)
underneath each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:
• No signal strength bar: the receiver is looking for the satellite(s) indicated. The corresponding
number(s) on the sky view is not highlighted.
• Hollow signal strength bar: the receiver has found the satellite and is collecting data.
• Solid green signal strength bar: the receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite(s) is
ready for use. The corresponding number(s) on the sky view is highlighted.
Each satellite has a 30-second data transmission that must be collected (hollow signal strength bar, as
described above) before that satellite may be used for navigation (solid green signal strength bar). Once a
fi x has been calculated, the StreetPilot 2610/2650 then updates your position, ground track, and ground
speed by selecting and using the best satellites in view.
