How to View Satellite Status
The satellite status screen shows the signal strength of satellites in use, available sat-
ellites and their elevation (in a 2D format) and other related information. To show the
status screen, tap the satellite icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
At least four satellites must be available in order to calculate your position correctly.
DOP (Dilution Of Precision) values are indicated in both horizontal (HDOP) and verti-
cal (VDOP) formats. A lower value indicates a more reliable position fix.
