Satellite Status Page

At the top of the Satellite Status Page is a message containing the 

status of the GPS receiver.  At least three satellite signals of sufficient 
strength are required to generate a 2D location fix.  Four or more satellite 
signals of sufficient strength are required to generate a 3D location fix. 
When you have sufficient signals from four or more satellites, a “3D GPS 
Location” message appears.

A sky view array in the center, left of the iQue 3200 screen represents 

the position of satellites in the sky overhead with your position in the 
center of the two circles.  The outer circle indicates the horizon while 
the inner circle a position 45° from the horizon.  The numbers displayed 
indicate the number assigned to those satellites. 

To the right of the sky view, the date and time displays, and if you 

are moving, your current speed displays as well.  The accuracy of your 
current position displays at the bottom of the list.  All of this information 
continues to update as you navigate.

A bar graph at the bottom of the page displays the strength of signals 

being received from each satellite.  Each number represents the particu-
lar satellite that is being received.  Numbers above 33 indicate WAAS 
satellites.  When the satellite is being fully received, the bar above the 
corresponding number is solid.  When information is still being gathered 
for that satellite, the bar is empty.
