The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages:

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

satellites indicated.

•   White signal strength bars—the receiver has found the 

satellite(s) and is collecting data.

•   Green signal strength bars—the receiver has collected the 

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

The status field indicates “Ready for Navigation” when the 

GPSMAP 292/298 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.
