16 GPS data screen
The GPS data screen is a collection of information received from the GPS device. The GPS data screen displays the visible part of the sky above you, with your position as the centre. The satellites are displayed at their current positions. The GPS receives data from both the green and yellow satellites. Signals from the yellow satellites are only received. The green ones are used by the GPS to calculate your current location. You can also view the satellite signal strength bars. The grey bars are for the yellow satellites and colored bars are for the green satellites. The more satellites your GPS tracks (the green ones), the more accurate your calculated position is.
The GPS data screen also includes information like current position in latitude/longitude format, elevation, speed, date, time, the GPS connection status, and calculated accuracy.
NOTE: Accuracy can be affected by several factors that Travel Companion cannot take into account. Use this accuracy information only as an estimation.
