Your iCN works by receiving signals from the GPS. The

Latitude and longitude are displayed, along with a north-pointing compass, the heading in degrees and ground speed.
You can check the GPS Status at any time by pressing the left
Selection Button

Preferences
screen or on any of the Navigation screens.
You can also open this screen by pressing the left
Selection Button
on the
Go To
screen when you have not programmed a trip into your iCN. If you have
programmed a trip, pressing this button will return you to the navigation screens.
The satellites available from your current position are shown in different colours:
The globe in the
GPS Status
screen will appear grey if no GPS signal is being received.
You can determine your GPS Status at a glance in any of the Navigation screens.
The
GPS Strength Indicator
will display between one and three bars to indicate the strength of the signal; the
GPS Strength Indicator

when no fix is available.
