Satellite Page
The Satellite Page provides a picture of satellite signal 
tracking, tells you when the unit is ready for navigation, 
and shows your location coordinates. 
The Skyview graphic represents a view looking up 
at the sky from your current location showing satellites 
and their assigned numbers. The outer ring represents 
the horizon around you, the inner ring represents a view 
above you at a 45° angle from vertical, and the center 
represents directly overhead. Signal Strength Bars for each 
satellite are shown to the left of the Skyview. Satellites 
and their signals appear as hollow shapes until a signal is 
received and then they appear darkened in. The stronger 
the signal, the taller the signal bar. 
The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) 
capability produces a more accurate position fi x. When 
enabled (the GPS mode set to ‘Normal’ and the interface 
set to other than RTCM mode), this feature searches for 
a WAAS satellite near your location and then receives 
data for correcting differentials in the GPS satellite signals 
and the WAAS satellite numbers (beginning at No. 33 or 
above) display on the Satellite Page. When differential 
correction data has been received for GPS satellites (num-
bers 32 or below), a ‘D’ displays in the signal bar beneath 
the skyview. It is helpful to orient the unit antenna toward 
the WAAS satellite shown in the skyview. To learn more 
about the WAAS System, access the Federal Aviation 
Administration web site (http://gps.faa.gov/). Because the 
Rino relies on satellite signals to provide you with naviga-
tional guidance, the unit’s view of the sky determines how 
fast you achieve navigational status. GPS signals do not
