GPS Detail
By pressing and holding the MENU button for 2 seconds, a GPS Detail screen appears. This screen displays real time incoming satellite positional data when the vehicle is outside in the open. The information shown on this screen is for factory use.
NOTE:
The data shown is an example only.
- The box TS/AS and H Dop (horizontal dilution of precision)/V Dop (vertical dilution of precision) is for factory use.
- The Speed and Direction information is updated in real time when driving.
- The Date/Time Information is the same as in Setup screen 2 Adjust Time Zone/Clock.
- If the 3D icon is shown above the yellow dots, this implies that at least four satellites are available for map positioning, and the GPS indicator on the map screen will be green. See the Global Positioning System detailed explanation in the System Description.
- If the row of data in the table below begins with a yellow dot, the AZI and EL fields can be used to locate each satellite on the circular GPS diagram (see prior screen).
The table of values shown below define the terms at the top of the columns in the GPS detail screen.
| Column | Description | Problem indication |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Active satellites (Yellow Dot) | If 3D or 2D is missing when the vehicle is parked outside, go to GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN TROUBLESHOOTING (see ) |
| PRN | The satellite ID number | |
| ST | The status: 0 = cannot view or searching, 2 = acquiring | If all 0, go to GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN TROUBLESHOOTING (see ) |
| AZI | Azimuth, the angle (0-360) clockwise from north | |
| EL | Elevation from the horizon (90 deg is overhead) | |
| C/N | Receiver sensitivity | Normal signal is 49-52, no signal: 27-33 |
| ACC | Satellite accuracy | |
| ↑ 1/3 to 3/3 ↓ | Shows view of all satellites in three screen views 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 |
