8. GPS Status

Signals are transmitted by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth. This screen provides a visual

representation of the information being received. Latitude and longitude are displayed, along with a North-pointing

compass, the heading in degrees and ground speed. Satellites available are shown as segments.

From the Main Menu, select Settings > More Settings

> GPS Status. The GPS Status screen will display.

• Yellow — a satellite is being tracked but is not being used

• Red — a satellite is being used to determine a two dimensional (2D) ﬁx

• Green — the satellite is being used to determine your position.

The circle under the sattelite segments is green when there is a valid ﬁx (2D or 3D), and red when there is no ﬁx. While

a 2D ﬁx is sufﬁcient to maintain a valid ﬁx, a 3D ﬁx is more accurate.

Satellite Signal Strength

From the GPS Status screen, press the Page button to display the Satellite

Signal Strengths screen. The strength of each satellite is displayed on a bar

chart.

The circle on the right-hand side of the screen displays green when there

is a valid ﬁx (2D or 3D), and red when no ﬁx is available. The satellites

available from your current position are shown as bars.

• Grey — no signal at all

• Red — this signal is not being used to ﬁx your position

• Green — this signal is being used to ﬁx your position.

Satellite Position Indicators

From the Satellite Signal Strengths screen, press the Page button to

display the Satellite analysis screen. The position of each satellite is shown

in relation to Earth. You can view the status and performance of a satellite

by selecting it using the 8-way toggle. The satellite performance will

display.

Each satellite is represented by a small empty circle.

• Gray circle — no signal

• Red circle — a signal not being used to ﬁx your position

• Green circle — a signal being used to ﬁx your position

• Yellow satellite icon — shows the current satellite.
