The two circles indicate satellite
elevation as seen from your current
position; the outer circle represents
the horizon and the inner circle
represents 45° from the horizon.
The center of the circle is 90° from
the horizon, or directly overhead.

used to compute your position are
shown with solid bars. The height of
the bar indicates the relative signal
strength.

The Satellite Status screen visually displays the satellites being used and the
strength of the received signal. Additionally, this screen displays the power source
you are connected to and, if internal batteries, how much battery life is
remaining. This is a very handy screen when you wish to view how well your
Meridian is tracking satellites.
