longitude, and altitude. Satellite indicates how many satellites you are
receiving signals from and how many satellites are potentially available
based on the orbit of the satellites.
• Local Time shows the time at your current location.
• NMEA shows incoming satellite data, which is shown graphically
below.
• The graphic to the left shows the position of all reporting satellites
relative to your current position.
• The bar graph to the right shows the strength of the satellite signals.
Each bar represents a single satellite. White bars indicate signals are

Signal Reception
Once the Receiver and the Pocket PC are partnered, you receive satellite
signals. Based on satellite position and your geographic location, you may
experience the following:
• Satellite signals are received more quickly at specific times of the day.
For example, at 10:00 a.m., you might receive signals in under a
minute because more satellites are visible in the sky. At 3:00 p.m., you
may not receive signals because only two satellites are visible in the sky
