Navi Users Test Screen

Press Map/Guide, Menu and Cancel at the same time for a few seconds. Checkout the screen that comes up. I think the second item on the left shows you how many satellites are tracking you.

Feeling a little paranoid are we.

I'm sure you know that GPS satellites are one way devices, and they just transmit information, they don't recieve. They honestly don't track you; you track them to figure out where you are.

The US has a completely different set of setelites to track YOU.

Once you get to that screen, press either setup or menu (I can't remember which) to get even more detailed info.

FYI, the time the comes up under the satellite info page is exact, to the second. It's part of the info that gets transmitted by the satellites. The digital clock is also updated using the GPS time. Very nice! Only thing more accurate would be direct from the atomic clock in Colorado.
