Visible Satellites
Visible satellites are shown on a polar-display. The rings mark the 'elevation' and the
sectors mark 'azimuth'. The centre of the display represents directly overhead and the
elevation is 90° at this point. The edge of the display, elevation = 0°, represents the
horizon. The 'azimuth' is a compass direction where 0° represents true north, 90° is east
and 180° is south. Satellites being used are marked by a coloured cross on the display,
and a blue bar on the Satellite Signal Strength Indicator, otherwise it is gray on both.
Right clicking over the Visible Satellites area, brings up a menu where satellite trails
(green lines), and a minimum elevation plot (the blue lines) can be turned on. Over time
this minimum elevation plot will show the viewable horizon. An example of a minimum
elevation plot is shown in Figure 15, which is from Wellington, New Zealand. This
example shows there is poor satellite coverage in southern latitudes.
