It may take your terminal several minutes to complete the process of determining your location. During this time, a message usually appears on your terminal’s display stating:

The Position screen displays the updated information. To cancel a location calculation before it is completed: Press Back to return to the previous screen.

Each time approximate location of your terminal is calculated, the latest location information is stored in your terminal and remains there even when your terminal is powered off. You will see this information the next time you view the Position screen.

If you received a terminal call or alert while attempting to determine your location, the Position screen will disappear, but your terminal will continue attempting to determine its location. If it is successful, the new location information will be displayed the next time you view the Position screen.

Satellite Almanac Data

Government officials maintains an almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as they orbit the Earth. This information is available to your terminal. Keeping your satellite almanac up to date helps your terminal determine your location more quickly.

The almanac contains information about the location of satellites, their operational status, and other satellite information.
