The GPSMAP 210/220 Status Page provides a visual reference of various
receiver functions, including current satellite coverage, receiver operating
mode and present position or DGPS status. The status information will give
you an idea of what the receiver is doing at any given moment.
The sky view and signal strength bars give you an indication of what satel­
lites are visible to the receiver and whether or not they are being tracked. The
signal strength is shown on a bar graph for each satellite, with the satellite
number below. When a satellite is visible but not being tracked, the strength
bar will remain blank and the sky view indicator will remain highlighted.
The sky view shows a bird’s eye view of the position of each satellite relative
to the receiver’s last known position. The outer circle represents the horizon
(north up); the inner circle 45° above the horizon; and the center point a posi­
tion directly overhead. Use the sky view to determine if there are obstructions
shading your reception of GPS signals.

In this example, satellites 5 , 1 5 and 21 are
currently being tracked, with the correspond­
ing signal strength bars indicating the relative
strength of the signals. Satellites 20 and 25
(shown in reverse video) are visible, but are
not currently being tracked.
NOTE; For first time operation, GPSMAP
210 and 220 units may require 7.5 to 15
minutes to collect initial satellite almanac
data and establish a present position. You
may speed up the initial acquisition process
by entering an initial position (see page 16).
