Display indicators
The GPS indicator
shows the availability of the satellite signals. One
bar is one satellite. When the device tries to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow.
When the device receives enough data from the satellites for GPS to calculate your
location, the bar turns green. The more green bars, the more reliable the location
calculation.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least four satellites to calculate
your location. After the initial calculation, signals from three satellites may be
enough.
The data transfer indicator
shows the internet connection used, and
the amount of data transferred since the application started.
