If your device has found
satellites, a bar for each
satellite is displayed in the
satellite information view.
The longer the bar, the
stronger the satellite signal is.
When your device has
received enough data from the satellite signal to
calculate the coordinates of your location, the bar color
changes.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least
four satellites to be able to calculate the coordinates
of your location. When the initial calculation has been
made, it may be possible to continue calculating the
coordinates of your location with three satellites.
However, the accuracy is generally better when more
satellites are found.
