GPS INFORMATION

This screen shows the current status of GPS reception. The circular diagram shows the current location of
the GPS satellites (yellow numbers) as they would appear in the sky. The outer circle represents the horizon
(0 degrees elevation). The middle and inner circles represents 30 and 60 degrees respectively. The very
center of the diagram (90 degrees elevation) is directly overhead. Nearby obstructions, like tall buildings,
will block satellites in that direction. That is why it is necessary to be in an open area to effectively
troubleshoot GPS reception issues. The satellite numbers shown on the diagram correspond to the "PRN"
number in the "GPS Details" screen. There are always at least 24 "active" GPS satellites in orbit. Because
satellites fail, and have to be removed from service, spares are always parked in orbit, ready to be activated.
This is why the PRN (satellite ID number) can be greater than 24.
NOTE: To use this screen for troubleshooting, the vehicle should be out side away
from buildings, tall trees, and high-tension wires for at least 10 minutes with
the engine running.
The "Number of Satellites" box shows the number of acquired satellites (maximum of 12). It should

contain four or more icons. If not troubleshoot for "GPS icon is white or not shown" (see GPS ICON
IS WHITE OR NOT SHOWN ).
The "Current Position" shows latitude, longitude, and elevation (in feet). If there are less than four

satellites, the elevation can be grossly inaccurate.
The Date/Time field shows the current date, and also a time that includes daylight savings and other

offsets entered by the client in Setup screen 2 "Adjust Time Zone/Clock."
