Notes
• If the GPS device is receiving satellite data, but there is insufficient data for
an accurate location, the status displays "2D" (in yellow). Move your device to
another location until you get better reception.
• When a GPS connection is successful and the device is acquiring sufficient
satellite data to determine your location, the status displays "3D" (in green).
A 3D connection provides data on your current coordinates, elevation,
heading, and the speed you are traveling. The GPS Position icon displays on
the map view screen and blinks if you are not moving. Once you start
traveling, the GPS Position icon changes to an arrow indicating direction of
travel.
• If you pan the map and the GPS Position is not in the map view, the GPS Off
Map icon displays in the lower-left of the map view screen. Tap the icon to
center the map on your current GPS Position.
