GPS Detail
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Honda Pilot, 2007 Honda Pilot, and 2006 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
By pressing and holding the MENU button for 10 seconds, a GPS Detail screen appears. This screen displays real time incoming satellite positional data. Most of the information shown on this screen is for factory use, however, some of the data can indicate partial GPS signal interference.
- The box TS/AS and HDop/VDop is for factory use.
- The Speed and Direction information is updated in real time when driving, and can be used to detect intermittent speed sensor problems.
- 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 4 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" (see GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) ).
- 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 "PRN"# on the circular GPS diagram (see prior screen).
NOTE:
The data shown in the GPS Detail screen is an example only.
