GPS Status
Signals are transmitted by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth. The

Latitude and longitude are displayed, along with a north-pointing compass, the heading in degrees
and ground speed. The strength of each satellite is displayed on a bar chart.
From the Main Menu screen, select Preferences
More Preferences GPS status.

You can also access this screen from the 2D Map, 3D Map, Next Turn and Next 4 Turns
screens, by tapping the GPS Strength Indicator

The circle on the right side of the screen displays green when there is a valid fix (2D or 3D),
and red when no fix is available. A fix will be obtained more quickly if the vehicle is stationary than
if it is moving.
The satellites available from your current position are shown as grey, red and green coloured bars:
