Since the unit has 16 channels, it can dedicate one channel per visible
satellite. The taller the bar on the graph, the better the unit is receiv-
ing signals from the satellite.

The Estimated Position Error (horizontal position error), shown in the
upper right corner of the screen, is the expected error from a bench-
mark location. In other words, if the EPE shows 50 feet, then the posi-
tion shown by the unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual
location. This also gives you an indicator of the quality of the fix the
unit currently has. The smaller the position-error number, the more
accurate the fix. If the position error displays flashing dashes, then the
unit hasn't locked onto the satellites and the number shown isn't valid.

Compass Page

This Page has a compass rose. It shows the direction you are facing and
the direction to a selected destination. When you're not navigating to a
waypoint or other destination, the navigation screen looks like the one
in the image below. No graphic course information is displayed. An ar-
row on the edge of the compass represents your facing direction.
