c Satellite signal-strength bars
The sky view shows the satellites you are receiving. The satellite
signal-strength bars indicate the strength of each satellite you
are receiving. A solid bar indicates that the GPS satellite is
ready for use.
• When only the frame of the signal-strength bar is displayed, no
