BMW E38 2001 Manual Download Page 61

The sub-selection menu additionally

includes GPS “Status” and “Tracking” 

choices.

• GPS Status provides information on the

exact  coordinates  of  the  vehicle  based

on  the  calculations  of  the  GPS  receiver

module.

• GPS Tracking provides information about

the individual satellites currently sending

signals to the GPS receiver module.

The next selection available from the SERVICE MODE menu is “Sensor check” which provides:

• Wheel speed input (only one wheel speed signal, displayed in the right side window),

• Total number of GPS satellites 

currently providing signals,

• What mode the GPS receiver module

is currently in; (ie: Search)

• The Gyro status provides the millivolt-

age value the Nav computer is utilizing

for the current vehicle position.  This

area also includes an icon represent-

ing what direction the vehicle is head-

ing in. 

• The direction status relates to what gear the vehicle is currently in (forward or reverse).
