the bottom of the graph, and the signal strength is shown
along the left edge. The longer the bar, the stronger the signal
of the corresponding satellite.
The satellites’ positions in the sky are plotted at right in 2
concentric circles representing 0° elevation at the horizon, and
45°. The center point of the circle, 90°, is directly overhead.
The satellites being tracked are shaded.
