Precision of GPS
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Acura TSX, 2007 Acura TSX, and 2006 Acura TSX. 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.
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM REFERENCE
| GPS ICON | NUMBER OF SATELLITES | CONDITION | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| No GPS icon shown | 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. |
| Square GPS icon shown with white "GPS" | 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) |
| Cube GPS icon shown with green "GPS" | 4 or more | Vehicle position detectable in 3 dimensions | The longitude, latitude and the altitude of the vehicle position can be detected. (More precise than detection in two dimensions) |
