Display indicators
The GPS indicator shows the availability of
the satellite signals. One bar is one satellite. When the
device tries to find satellite signals, the bar is yellow.
When the device receives enough data from the
satellites for GPS to calculate your location, the bar
turns green. The more green bars, the more reliable
the location calculation.
Initially, your device must receive signals from at least
four satellites to calculate the coordinates of your
location. After the initial calculation, signals from three
satellites may be enough.
The data transfer indicator shows the
internet connection used, and the amount of data
transferred since the application started.
