The GPS signal bars indicate the strength of satellite
arrays overhead. More bars mean more satellites in view.
As the unit collects satellite information, the satellite
signal bars increase to indicate a 3D position fix. The
more satellite signal bars, the better your position
fix. Three or more green bars are required for GPS
navigation.
Radio Transmission/Reception Status
As the radio transmits and receives, a variety of messages
appear to indicate the type and status of the transmission
or reception.
