GPS Detail
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. 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 information shown on this screen is for factory use, however some of the data can indicate partial GPS signal interference.
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, 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 table of values shown below define the terms at the top of the columns in the GPS Detail screen.
COLUMN DESCRIPTION
| 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 GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN ). |
| PRN | The satellite ID number | |
| ST | The status: 0 = cannot view or searching, 2 = acquiring | If all 0, then, follow GPS icon is white or not shown troubleshooting (see GPS ICON IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN ). |
| AZI | Azimuth, the angle (0-360) clockwise from north | |
| EL | Elevation from the horizon (90 deg is overhead) | |
| C/N | Reveiver sensitivity | Normal signal is 49-52, no signal: 27-33 |
| ACC | Satellite accuracy | |
| 1/2 or 2/2 | Shows view of all satellites in two screen views 1/2 or 2/2 |
