 GPS?

GPS satellites are positioned throughout the sky. As soon as you turn 

on your Navus, it begins acquiring satellite signals. From the sky 

view area on the GPS Information page, you can see which satellites 

are currently in your area; each satellite has its own number. 

A signal strength bar appears for each satellite in view; the 

satellite’s number appears beneath each bar. The progress of satellite 

acquisition is shown in three stages:
  No signal strength bar: The GPS receiver in your Navus 

is looking for the satellite(s) indicated. The corresponding 

number(s) appears on the sky view.

   Hollow signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has found the 

satellite and is collecting data. The corresponding number(s) on 

the sky view is faintly highlighted. 

  Solid signal strength bar: The GPS receiver has collected 

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

corresponding number(s) on the sky view is solidly highlighted.

Once a fix has been calculated, the Navus updates your position, 

ground track, and ground speed by using the best satellites in view.
The sky view provides a “bird’s eye” view of the satellites’ position 

relative to your last known position. The outer circle represents the 

horizon in all directions (with cardinal heading references). The 

inner circle represents an elevation of 45° above the horizon. Any 

satellite depicted near the center is directly overhead. You can set 

the sky view to a “Track Up” instead of “North Up” (default setting) 

orientation; this causes the top of the sky view to align to your 

current track heading.
