Note that establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds
to several minutes. The availability and quality of GPS signals may be
affected by buildings, natural obstacles, and weather conditions. When the
GPS receiver is on,
is displayed. If the indicator blinks, the GPS receiver is
calculating its location.
To activate the GPS receiver and to view available position information, select
. Use
and
to scroll between the
displays.
The first display contains the current geographical coordinates in WGS-84
format (a geographical coordinate system) and an estimate of the accuracy of
the location. The correct coordinates are shown only if the GPS receiver
receives the needed positioning information from the GPS satellites.
The second display contains the approximate altitude from the mean sea
level. If the device is moving, the approximate speed and the approximate
direction of the movement in degrees from true north are also shown.
The third display contains the approximate time of the measurement in
Universal Time (UTC) format and the number of satellites the radio is
connected to (maximum 12).
The text on top of the display informs you of the status of the GPS receiver. If
is displayed, the GPS receiver is calculating its location or not
receiving information from the satellites, and the correct coordinates cannot
be displayed. The coordinates of the previous calculated position remain on
the display until new position information is received from the satellites.
is displayed, the coordinates are displayed, but the receiver
cannot calculate the altitude, because it is only receiving information from
three satellites. If
is displayed, the receiver is receiving
information from a minimum of four satellites, and the coordinates and the
altitude can be calculated.
