Using the Satellite Information Page on an Automotive Device

The Satellite Information page displays the strength of the satellite signals you are receiving and your GPS accuracy. Generally, the accuracy of your device will range from 3 to 5 meters, or 10 to 16 feet. It also displays the coordinates (latitude and longitude) and elevation of your current location.

To access the Satellite Information page on most automotive devices, touch and hold the satellite reception bars in the top left corner.  On the nuvi 300 and 600 series devices, the satellite reception bars will only appear if the antenna flap is up. 

To return to the main menu, touch the  Back or arrow button in the lower-left corner. If one is not present, touch anywhere on the screen.
