• The box TS/AS and HDop/VDop is for factory use.
• The Speed and Direction information is updated in real time when driving, and can be used to detect intermittent speed sensor problems.
• The Date/Time Information is the same as in Setup screen 2 Adjust Time Zone/Clock.
• If the 3D icon is shown above the yellow dots, this implies that at least 4 satellites are available for map positioning, and the GPS indicator on the map screen will be green. See the Global Positioning System detailed explanation in the SYSTEM DESCRIPTION  .
• If the row of data in the table below begins with a yellow dot, the AZI and EL fields can be used to locate each satellite on the circular GPS diagram (see prior screen).

The table of values as shown define the terms at the top of the columns in the GPS Detail screen.
