Signal Strength Indicators
This is a bar graph showing the strength of the signals received from the satellites. Black bars
indicate signals that are being used to compute positiong.
Satellite Signal Chart
The two circles indicate satellilte elevation. The outer circle represents the horizon and the inner
circle represents 45 degrees from the horizon. The center of the circle represents 90 degrees from
the horizon. Satellites displayed as a black box with white numbers indicate satellites that are being
used to compute the position.
Position Fix Indicator
Displays the status of the position fixes being computed.
No fix: Indicates poor signal strength and no position is being computed
2D: Position fix is being computed but elevation is not.
3D: Both Position and Elevation is being computed.
Last Position Computed
This is the latitude/longitude coordinates for the last position fix that was computed by the GPS
Companion.
Elevation
This displays the elevation of the last computed postion fix. If in 2D mode the elevation is not
computed but instead is based upon the last computed or entered elevation. If in 3D mode, the
elevation is computed using the satellite signals.
Trip Distance
This is the distance from the last point that you reset the trip odometer to the last computed position.
Speed
This is the speed that you are traveling.
Heading
This is the direction that you are presently heading. Note: you must be moving to display the correct
heading.
Heading Compass
This is a display of your heading using a familar compass design. Here again, you must be moving
for this value to be correct.
Bearing to Destination
This is the direction you should be heading to arrive at your destination or current route leg.
Speed
This is your present computed speed.
Heading
This is your present computed heading. You must be moving for this value to be accurate.
