Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 Owner’s Manual190-00919-00 Rev. G 7Overview Overview GPS Navigation Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Appendices IndexACQUIRING SATELLITESWhen the receiver is in the process of acquiring enough satellite signals for navigation,the receiver uses satellite orbital data (collected continuously from the satellites) and lastknown position to determine the satellites that should be in view. ‘Acquiring Satellites’is indicated as the solution until a sufficient number of satellites have been acquired forcomputing a solution.When the receiver is in the process of acquiring a 3D differential GPS solution, ‘3D GPSLocation’ is indicated as the solution until the 3D differential fix has finished acquisition.SATELLITE INFORMATIONSatellites currently in view are shown at their respective positions on a satelliteconstellation diagram. The outer circle of the constellation diagram represents the horizon,the inner circle represents 45° above the horizon, and the center point shows the positiondirectly overhead. Each satellite is represented by a square containing the Pseudo-RandomNoise (PRN) number (i.e., satellite identification number).The INFO Page can be helpful in troubleshooting weak (or missing) signal levels due topoor satellite coverage or installation problems. As the GPS receiver locks onto satellites, asignal strength bar is displayed for each satellite in view, with the appropriate satellite PRNnumber (01-32 or 33-64 for WAAS) below each bar. The progress of satellite acquisition isshown in three stages, as indicated by signal bar appearance:- No bar—Receiver is looking for the indicated satellite- Gray bar—Receiver has collected the necessary data and the satellite signal canbe used- Green bar—Satellite is being used for the GPS solution
