The GPS indicator shows the availability of
the satellite signals. One bar is one satellite. When the
device tries to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow.

satellites for GPS to calculate your location, the bar
turns green. The more green bars, the more reliable
the location calculation.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least

satellites may be enough.
