Overview System Instruments Flight EIS CNS Interface System Overview The INFO Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due to poor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRN number (01-32 or 33-64 for WAAS) below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition is shown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar appearance: - No bar-Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite - Gray bar-Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal can be used - Green bar-Satellite is being used for the GPS solution POSITION The Position box on the INFO Page displays latitude, longitude, accuracy (in feet), reference waypoint, type, distance, direction, and bearing. The reference waypoint is designed to display the current position in relation to a prominent landmark. The pilot can change the reference waypoint 'Nearest Type' using the 'Change Nearest Type' page menu option. By default the Nearest Type is set to 'Automatic', which will display the nearest large airport, enroute VOR, or city (in that order).
