4. GPS Page
To optimize the GPS antenna reception, we
advise that you open the antenna and keep
it lifted upon a parallel position in reference
to the sky.
The GPS status is displayed in all pages and
also in the map view by the “satellite” icon.
Three green bars mean a perfect signal
reception, instead the icon made with a red
bar and a WARNING symbol inside a triangle
means that the signal is not present.
To control the reception status, you need to
access to System Setup menu in the main
menu and select GPS Page.
In this page you can see the signal level for
each satellite and the constellation scheme,
together with additional data regarding the
reception and the position.
In the EXT. GPS box, you can see the
wording EXT. if you are using the external
antenna, while you can see the wording
DIS. if you are using the internal antenna.
