Satellite Status Page

At the top of the Satellite Status Page is a message containing the
status of the GPS receiver. At least three satellite signals of sufficient
strength are required to generate a 2D location fix. Four or more satellite
Current
signals of sufficient strength are required to generate a 3D location fix.
Location
When you have sufficient signals from four or more satellites, a "3D GPS
Date and
Location" message appears.
Time
A sky view array in the center, left of the iQue 3200 screen represents

the position of satellites in the sky overhead with your position in the

center of the two circles. The outer circle indicates the horizon while

the inner circle a position 45° from the horizon. The numbers displayed

indicate the number assigned to those satellites.
Strength
To the right of the sky view, the date and time displays, and if you
are moving, your current speed displays as well. The accuracy of your
current position displays at the bottom of the list. All of this information
continues to update as you navigate.
A bar graph at the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals
being received from each satellite. Each number represents the particu-
lar satellite that is being received. Numbers above 33 indicate WAAS
satellites. When the satellite is being fully received, the bar above the
corresponding number is solid. When information is still being gathered
for that satellite, the bar is empty.
