The unit then updates the location, date, and time. You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are being blocked, and whether you have a current location fix. The sky view shows a bird's-eye view of the position of each satellite 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. • Searching for Satellites-the receiver is looking for and collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or initialized position, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fix. • Ready for Navigation-at least three satellites have been acquired and your location is now being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. • Ready for Nav with WAAS-at least three satellites and a WAAS/EGNOS satellite have been acquired and your location is now being calculated in latitude, longitude, and elevation. • Simulating-the receiver is in Simulator Mode. 38 GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 Owner's Manual

The status field indicates “Ready for Navigation” when the
GPSMAP 392/398/492/498 has collected the necessary data from
satellites to calculate a fix. The unit then updates the location, date,
and time.
You can use the sky view to help determine if any satellites are
being blocked, and whether you have a current location fix. The
sky view shows a bird’s-eye view of the position of each satellite
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.
•
Searching for Satellites
—the receiver is looking for and
collecting data from satellites visible at its last known or
initialized position, but has not collected enough data to
calculate a fix.
•
Ready for Navigation
—at least three satellites have been
acquired and your location is now being calculated in
latitude, longitude, and elevation.
•
Ready for Nav with WAAS
—at least three satellites and
a WAAS/EGNOS satellite have been acquired and your
location is now being calculated in latitude, longitude, and
elevation.
•
Simulating
