The Satellite Page

The Satellite Page displays information about the satellite signals the

GPS 60 is receiving. In the middle of the page, you can see a number of

satellite icons with numbers; each number represents a specific satellite in

space. The satellites appear on the page where they would appear in the

sky if you looked straight up.

As the GPS 60 acquires satellite signals, the strength of each signal

appears on the graph at the bottom of the page. An outlined bar means

the GPS 60 is trying to acquire a signal; a shaded bar means the GPS 60

has already acquired a signal. When the GPS 60 has at least three satellite

signals, your position in coordinates appears at the top of the page.

If you have trouble acquiring satellite signals, you can tell the GPS 60

your current location from the Satellite Page Menu.
