GPS info
.
If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each satellite
is shown in the satellite info
view. The longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite signal.
When your device has received
enough data from the satellite
signal to calculate the
coordinates of your location, the
bar turns black.
Initially your device must receive
signals from at least four
satellites to be able to calculate
the coordinates of your location.
When the initial calculation has
been made, it may be possible to
continue calculating the
coordinates of your location with
three satellites. However, the
accuracy is generally better
when more satellites are found.
