QueGPS displays the following information:

•  The current date and time.
•  Your current position, speed, elevation, and estimated accuracy of position.
•  GPS status, number of satellite signals received, and signal strength.

The circular graphic in the center of the page displays the position of each satellite currently in 

your area. Each satellite is represented by a number (from 1–31), and the numbers appear on the 

graphic to show the positions of the satellites. You can also see the current positions of the sun and 

moon.
You can change the orientation of the circular graphic to 

North Up (North is at the top of the 

screen) or Track Up (your direction of travel is at the top of the screen). Tap Menu and choose an 

orientation.
Below the graphic are a number of bars, which represent the strength of each satellite signal 

being received. The number below each bar corresponds to the satellite sending the signal. No bar 

indicates that the GPS receiver is not receiving a signal from this satellite. A hollow bar indicates 

that the GPS receiver is gathering data from this satellite. A solid bar means that the GPS receiver 

has received data from this satellite and can use it for navigation.

If you have trouble acquiring satellites with your iQue M3, try these tips and suggestions:

•  Make sure the GPS antenna is raised and is parallel to the horizon.
•  Make sure you are in an open area that is unobstructed by tall buildings or trees.
•  Make sure you have given the iQue M3 enough time to initialize: it may take several minutes.
•  Try turning the iQue M3 off and then back on.
•  If you have moved a long distance since you last used the iQue M3, or if initializing takes a long time, use the QueGPS page 

to change your location, as described below.

1.  With the iQue M3 turned on and the GPS antenna open, tap the System Status icon   at the top of the page.
2.  Tap the GPS Status icon   (“Acquiring Satellites”) to open QueGPS.
3.  Tap 

Menu. Then tap New Location.

4.  Use the Pan Toolbar at the top of the page to find your approximate position on the map. For more information, refer to the Quick 

Reference Guide or the Help files in QueNav.

5.  Tap the map to place the map pointer at your approximate position.
6.  Tap Select.
