Precision of GPS
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The precision of the GPS varies according to the number of satellites from which signals are received and the view of the sky. The precision is indicated by the color of the GPS icon shown on the display.
GPS PRECISION CHART
| GPS ICON COLOR | NUMBER OF SATELLITES | CONDITION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| White GPS icon | None | Faulty | The GPS can't be utilized due to a faulty GPS receiver, open in the wire, or other fault or interference. |
| 2 or less | Impossible to detect vehicle position | GPS function is normal. The satellite signals received by the GPS are too few to detect the vehicle position. | |
| Green GPS icon | 3 | Vehicle position detectable in 2 dimensions | The longitude and latitude of the vehicle position can be detected. (Less precise than detection in three dimensions) |
| 4 or more | Vehicle position detectable in 3 dimensions (elevation displayed) | The longitude, latitude and the altitude of the vehicle position can be detected. (More precise than detection in two dimensions) |
