5.1.8 Battery and GPS position quality indicators

You can find useful information in the top corners of menu screens.

The battery symbol in the top left corner, next to the current time shows

information about the rechargeable battery of the device.

Icon

Description

The battery is charging. The device runs on external power.

The battery is not charging but it is full.

The battery is not full but it still has enough capacity.

You need to recharge the battery.

In the top right corner, the GPS reception quality icon shows the current accuracy

of the position information.

Icon

Description

The software has no connection to the GPS receiver: GPS

navigation is not possible.
Devices with a built-in GPS receiver are permanently connected. On

such devices, the icon does not appear in normal circumstances.
The software is connected to the GPS receiver, but the signal is too

weak and the receiver cannot determine the GPS position.
GPS navigation is not possible.
Only a few satellites are received. Position information is available,

but elevation (altitude) cannot be calculated.

GPS navigation is possible, but the position error may be significant.
