•   No signal strength bars—the receiver is looking for the 

satellites indicated.

•   Light signal strength bars—the receiver has found the 

satellite(s) and is collecting data.

•   Dark signal strength bars—the receiver has collected the 

necessary data and the satellite(s) are ready for use.

The status field indicates a 2D or 3D, when the GPSMAP 192C has 

collected the necessary data from satellites to calculate a fix. The 

unit then updates the location, date, and time.
You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites 

are being blocked, and whether you have a current location fix 

(indicated by a 2D, 2D Differential, 3D, or 3D Differential in 

the status field). The sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the 

position of each satellite relative to the receiver’s last known 

location. The outer circle represents the horizon (north up), the 

inner circle 45º above the horizon, and the center point a position 

directly overhead. You can also set the sky view to a Track Up 

configuration, causing the top of the sky view to align along your 

current track heading.

The GPSMAP 192C is capable of receiving WAAS (Wide Area 

Augmentation System) satellite signals. WAAS is an FAA (Federal 

Aviation Administration) funded project to improve the overall 

accuracy and integrity of the GPS signal for aviation use, but land/

sea based users can also benefit from this system. At this time, the 

system is still in the development stage and is not fully operational. 
There are currently two WAAS satellites that can be received in 

the U.S.A., one over the Atlantic Ocean and one over the Pacific 

Ocean, in a geo-stationary orbit over the equator. Effective use 

of the WAAS satellite signal may be limited by your geographic 

location in relation to those satellites, now in developmental 

service. WAAS satellite signal reception requires an absolute 

clear view of the sky and works best when there are no nearby 

obstructions such as buildings, mountains.
