Sky View and Signal Strength Bars

The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of what satellites

are visible to the receiver, whether or not they are being used to calculate a position

fix, and the signal quality. The satellite sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the posi-

tion of each available satellite relative to the unit’s last known position. The outer cir-

cle represents the horizon (north up); the inner circle 45º above the horizon; and the

center point directly overhead. You can use the sky view to help determine if any

satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a current position fix (indicated

by a ‘2D NAV’ or ‘3D NAV’ in the status field) (Fig. 21b). You can also set the sky

view to a track up configuration by changing the “orientation” option on the Map

Page. (See p. 67 for setup instructions.)

When the receiver is looking for a particular satellite, the corresponding signal

strength bar will be blank and the sky view indicator will be highlighted. Once the

receiver has found the satellite, a hollow signal strength bar will appear, indicating

that the satellite has been found and the receiver is collecting data from it (Fig. 21a).

The satellite number in the sky view will no longer appear highlighted. As soon as

the GPS II

has collected the necessary data to calculate a fix, the status field will

indicate a 2D or 3D status.
