Satellites Status Page, at left. Custom Gauges feature, right.

This screen shows a graphical view of the satellites that are in view.

Each satellite is shown on the circular chart relative to your position.

The point in the center of the chart is directly overhead. The small in-

ner ring represents 45° above the horizon and the large ring represents

the horizon. North is at the top of the screen.
You can use this to see which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in

your immediate area if the unit is facing north. The GPS receiver is

tracking satellites that are in bold type.
The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if the number is grayed out,

therefore it isn't being used to solve the position. Since the unit has

twelve channels, it can dedicate one channel per visible satellite.
You can set up custom digital gauges through the Satellite Status page

menu. The Custom Gauges feature allows you to monitor a wide vari-

ety of data from one page.
