Checking
Each
Satellite
Turn the SMALL knob to view
information about each of the visible
satellites. This example shows
information about satellite 25.
Important!
The GPS antenna must be able to “see” each satellite
it is tracking. If a satellite is “shaded” by the wing or
fuselage during a turn, it may temporarily loose track
of that satellite. If this happens, or if the geometry of
the satellites available is poor, the unit may temporarily
calculate a “2D Fix” or “DR Fix” (dead reckoning).
NOTICE
Apollo 360 GPS units, part number 430-0256-01,
contain an 8-channel GPS receiver instead of the
6-channel receiver used in earlier units. The 8-channel
Apollo 360 GPS units provide performace that is equal
to or better than the 6-channel models. However, the
Satellite Tracking Page will only show tracking status
of the satellites assigned to channels 1 through 6. It is
possible that up to 2 satellites that are in track ( those
assigned to channels 7 and 8) will not appear on the
Satellite Tracking Page.
