NOTE:
One of the data display options for the Satellite Status page is "Po-
sition Error" (horizontal position error), which can appear in one of
the page's data boxes. When Position Error is on, it will show you
the expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the
Position Error box shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the
unit is estimated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. This
gives you an indicator of the quality of the satellite fix the unit has.
The smaller the position error number, the more accurate the satel-
lites fix. If the position error flashes dashes, then the unit hasn't
locked onto any satellites, and the number shown isn't valid.
The Satellite Status Page has its own menu, which is used for setting
various options. To access the Satellite Status Page Menu, from the
Status Page, press
