The status field indicates “Ready for Navigation” when the 

GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 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. 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.

•  Searching for Satellites—the receiver is looking for and 

collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or 

initialized position, but has not collected enough data to 

calculate a fix.

•  Ready for Navigation—at least three satellites have been 

acquired and your location is now being calculated in 

latitude, longitude, and elevation. 

•  Ready for Nav with WAAS—at least three satellites and 

a WAAS/EGNOS satellite have been acquired and your 

location is now being calculated in latitude, longitude, and 

elevation.

•  Simulating—the receiver is in Simulator Mode.
