(The menu display may differ slightly depending upon which screen it was accessed from. ) Getting a Position Fix Because the SporTrak attains information it needs from satellites orbiting the earth, the antenna needs to have a relatively unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the SporTrak to choose from all satellites currently available. If the view of the sky is poor due to large cliffs or buildings, heavy foliage or other obstructions, the satellite signals can be blocked and the receiver may take longer to compute a position fix. You can observe the signal strength and the satellites being used on the Satellite Status screen (described in the next section). Holding the SporTrak -- The receiver is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. Hold the SporTrak in the palm of your hand with the antenna pointing towards the sky.
