The screen also shows that the signal from satellite 6 is the
weakest received. The satellite is currently located at an

elevation of 41° from a horizon azimuth of 341° and is
being tracked by the receiver.

Use the LEFT or RIGHT ARROW keys to check
signal strengths from other received satellites.

Important: When signals from fewer than
four satellites are being received, a 3D position
fix is not possible. GPS altitude cannot be
accurately calculated by the receiver.
