SkyView Page Basics
The SkyView Page displays the eTrex Summit’s
receiver status. It also shows the strength of the satellite
signals that are being received. If the signals are weak you
may need to try a different location for better reception.
The shorter the signal strength bar, the weaker the signals.
At the top of the page the unit displays the status of the
receiver. The eTrex Summit displays the message ‘Ready
to Navigate’ when the receiver has gathered enough satel-
lite information to begin navigation.
