In some cases, the BGAN network does not allow the position to
be displayed to the user. If this is the case, the display may just
show GPS acquired. This means that the GPS position is received,
but not shown.
This also applies if the TracPhone is not yet registered on the
BGAN network, but the GPS position is received.
