VIEWING GPS STATUS
This feature allows you to view GPS satellite signal information. You can view the dynamic location
information received from satellite, such as, signal strength, compass (direction information), latitude/
longitude, approximate altitude, and speed.
An explanation of the messages is shown below.
Go to Main Menu ➜ Information➜ GPS
The following messages are displayed while the GPS receiver is
tracking satellites:
Locating GPS Satellites
The PND-K3 searches the sky looking for GPS satellites.
Acquiring GPS Signal
The PND-K3 acquires positioning information transmitted from 1
to 3 tracked satellites while searching for more satellites (minimum
4 of needed).
Fixing GPS Position
The PND-K3 requires continuous signals from 4 or more tracked
satellites (for 30 seconds) in order to accurately fix your position.
Temporary Poor GPS Coverage
Thunderstorms, dense foliage or surrounding tall buildings may
cause temporary loss of position fix (acceptable if under 30
seconds).
Poor GPS Signal, Lost Position Fix
You may have entered an area where consistently poor GPS signal
(lasting 30 seconds or more) makes it impossible to maintain a
position fix.
No Line of Sight, Lost GPS Tracking
You are in an area where line of sight to GPS satellites has been
blocked.
