GPS Satellite Signals
When you turn on the chartplotter, the GPS receiver must collect 

satellite data and establish the current location. When the 

chartplotter acquires satellite signals, 

 appears at the top of 

the Home screen. When the chartplotter loses satellite signals, 

 disappears and a flashing question mark appears over   on 

the chart.
