The sky view will help you

determine if a satellite sig-

nal is being blocked by

buildings, mountains or

other obstructions. As

satellites are locked onto,

the sky view indicators

will change from a

reverse-video highlight

to a standard display.

If you encounter difficulty

acquiring satellite signals,

try facing another direc-

tion or walk towards a

clearer view of the horizon.

The GPS 45’s Status Page provides a visual refer-

ence of satellite acquisition and position. As the

receiver locks onto satellites, a signal strength bar

will appear for each satellite in view, with the appro-

priate satellite number (1-32) underneath each bar.

The satellite sky view shows a bird’s eye view of

the position of each satellite relative to the unit’s last

known position. The outer circle represents the

horizon (north up); the inner circle 45º above the

horizon; and the center point directly overhead.

Once sufficient signals have been acquired, the

Status Page will be replaced with the Position Page.

The Position Page shows you where you are, what

direction you’re heading and how fast you are

going. The graphic display at the top of the page

indicates your cardinal heading (only while you’re

moving) with the track and speed indicated below.

The graphic compass display is designed to show

your current track and does not serve as a true

magnetic compass while you’re standing still.

The rest of the page shows your current position

in three dimensions: latitude, longitude and alti-

tude. The GPS 45 uses this basic information to

mark exact positions as waypoints, which help

guide you from one place to another.
