Information shown on the Satellites screen
• The date and time fields show the current date and time that the GPS receiver
has received from the GPS satellites. The date and time are shown in GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time) format.
• The latitude and longitude fields below the date and time fields show your
current location as geographical coordinates in WGS84 format (WGS84 is a
geographical coordinate system). The correct coordinates are shown only if the
GPS receiver is receiving the needed positioning information from GPS
satellites.
• The status of the GPS receiver is shown below the latitude and longitude fields.
Wait until the GPS receiver is ready for navigation before you start using it.
• The GPS accuracy field (next to the GPS receiver status field) shows an
estimate of how accurately the GPS receiver can show your current location.
• The diagram below the GPS receiver status and GPS accuracy fields shows up
to 12 satellites in view (as satellite IDs) and the signal strength of each
satellite. The better the signal strength, the stronger the signals received from
the satellite.
If the signal strength of a satellite is poor, the satellite and its ID are indicated
by gray color. The GPS receiver does not use GPS positioning information
received from this kind of satellite.
If the signal strength of the satellite is good, the satellite and its ID are
indicated by black color. The GPS receiver uses GPS positioning information
received from this kind of satellite.
