Satellite Status Screen
The Satellite Status screen is a handy way to visually see just how well the eXplorist is
tracking and receiving satellite signals.
Highlights of the Satellite Status screen:
• Type of position fix and the number of satellites being tracked is displayed. [A 2D
Position Fix requires three satellites; a 3D Position Fix requires four satellites or more.]
• Graphical indication of the location of the satellites, as well as their assigned number
identifiers, are shown.
• Bar chart supplies information as to the signal strength for each satellite. [A
yellow bar
indicates that the satellite is being tracked but has not been locked on yet; a
green bar
indicates that the satellite has been locked on.
