The Altimeter / Barometer Screen 

(Magellan Triton 500)

 

The Altimeter / Barometer screen displays your current elevation and 
barometer readings.

The Satellite Status Screen

The 

Satellite Status Screen

 graphically displays the satellites and their 

signal strength that is being used to compute your location. This screen 
shows when you are getting strong, weak, or poor signal reception. Green 
satellite icons represent satellites that are being used to compute your 
position while yellow (good), white (medium), and red (poor) icons show 
signal strengths of other available satellites. Signal levels are also 
represented at the bottom of the screen as colored bars.  

The numbers indicate the GPS satellite ID while “W” indicates WAAS 
(Wide Area Augmentation System) satellites.

There are also two customizable navigational screens displayed at the 
bottom of the display.
