The following messages are displayed while the GPS receiver is tracking satellites:

“Locating GPS Satellites”: NVE-P1 searches the sky looking for GPS satellites.

“Acquiring GPS Signal”: NVE-P1 acquires positioning information transmitted from 1 to 3 tracked satellites while searching for more satellites (minimum 4 needed).

“Fixing GPS Position”: NVE-P1 requires continuous signals from 4 or more tracked satellites (for 30 seconds) in order to accurately fix your position.

“Temporary Poor GPS Coverage”:

Thunderstorms, dense foliage or surrounding tall buildings may cause temporary loss of position fix (acceptable if under 30 seconds).

“Poor GPS Signal, Lost Position Fix”:

You may have entered an area where consistently poor GPS signal (lasting 30 seconds or more) makes it impossible to maintain a position fix.

“No Line of Sight, Lost GPS Tracking”:

You are in an area where line of sight to GPS satellites has been blocked.
