You can view the dynamic location information
received from satellite such as signal strength,
compass (direction information), latitude/longitude,
approximate altitude, and speed. This feature
allows you to view GPS satellite signal information.
An explanation of the messages is shown below.
“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.
