You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are
being blocked, and whether you have a current location fix. The

relative to the receiver’s last known location. The outer circle
represents the horizon (north up), the inner circle 45º above the
horizon, and the center point a position directly overhead. You can
also set the sky view to a Track up configuration, causing the top of
the sky view to align along your current track heading.
