This screen displays information about satellites that the device is currently receiving and which are used to calculate position using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).

πŸ“Š Columns – signal of individual satellites​

  • Each vertical column represents one specific satellite.
  • Column height = signal strength.
    • Higher column = better reception and more accurate position determination.
  • Fully filled column means the satellite is directly used for position calculation.
  • Empty column – signal is received, but currently not used in the calculation.

🌍 Marks below columns – satellite system type​

  • G – satellites of GPS system (USA)
  • E – satellites of Galileo system (Europe)
  • B – satellites of BeiDou system (China)
  • S – satellites of SBAS system (geostationary correction satellites, e.g. EGNOS)

What can you read from this?​

  • How many satellites you receive and how many of them are involved in position calculation.
  • Signal quality – the higher the columns, the better the reception.
  • From which systems (GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, SBAS) the signal comes.
tip

If the signal is weak or there are few satellites, try moving to a more open space without obstacles (buildings, trees).
