GPS Status
Signals are transmitted by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth. The GPS
Status screen provides a visual representation of the information being received.
Latitude and longitude are displayed, along with ground speed, the heading in degrees and a north-
pointing compass. The strength of each satellite is displayed on a bar chart.
The satellites available from your current position are shown as grey, red and green coloured bars:

Red A valid signal, but not being used to fix your position
