Satellite Page
What is the
Satellite Page?
The Satellite Page displays the Geko 301 looking for and gathering all the necessary
information from satellites in order to give your location. There are two display options on
the Satellite Page, Normal Skyview and Advanced Skyview. Normal Skyview shows you (in
animation), the satellites, receiving satellite signals, the signal strength, and the Geko 301’s
estimated location accuracy.
To activate the Advanced Skyview page, press the OK Button on the Satellite Page, select
‘Advanced Skyview’ option and press the OK Button again. This page displays the actual
numbered satellites in orbit the Geko 301 is using, their proximity to your current position,
and their individual strengths. The outer circle of the display represents the horizon and
the center represents the sky directly overhead to help you determine the location of the
satellites.
When you see the “READY TO NAVIGATE” message, the Geko 301 has found your loca-
tion and you are ready to go!
