Get started with CTRX Graphene and CTRX G

– Check your GPS reception –

Check your GPS status:

1. Click on the ”GNSS Status” tab.

2. Here you can see how good your GPS reception is.

If you have good/great reception and the GPS is 
navigating you shall see ”3D Fix” in the field

Fix Status:

NOTE!

The orange bars will only be visible if you 
have checked the ”Enable SBAS” box under 
the ”Configuration” tab.

The information with the bars 

might

”jump 

around”. I.e. all the bars might dissapear
for a second and then come back, and do
so ”the whole time”. This is normal.
What you need to check is how many and 
how ”good” your bars are.
