Acquiring GPS Satellite Signals
When you turn the unit on, the GPS receiver must collect satellite data and establish its current
location. When the unit acquires satellite signals, the signal strength bars at the top of the Home
screen are green . When the unit loses satellite signals, the green bars disappear and the
position icon shows a ashing question mark.
