About GPS and satellite signals The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio navigation system that includes 24 satellites and their ground stations that monitor the operation of the satellites. Your device has an internal GPS receiver. A GPS terminal receives low-power radio signals from the satellites and measures the travel time of the signals. From the travel time, the GPS receiver can calculate its location to the accuracy of metres. • If the weather conditions are bad, the signal strength may be affected. • Establishing a GPS connection may take from a couple of seconds to several minutes. Satellite status To check how many satellites your device has found, and whether your device is receiving satellite signals, select Menu > GPS > GPS data > Position > Options > Satellite status. If your device has found satellites, a bar for each satellite is shown in the satellite info view. The longer the bar, the stronger the satellite signal. When your device has received enough data from the satellite signal, the bar turns black. To enable or disable different positioning methods, such as Bluetooth GPS, select Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Positioning > Positioning methods.
