Satellite question...

I searched and cant find anything.

How can you find out how many satellites are tracking your GPS? I see guys talking about it re: the tints issues and I'd like to see how many track my car.

Thanks!

You hold down Map/Guide, Menu, and Cancel buttons at the same time for about 5 seconds. Then, the diagnostics screen comes up. Press the top-most button on the right, located below the "return" button. I forget what this button was called, maybe "satellite information" or something like that. Anyway, this is where you can find the number of satillites you are tracking. You can also find where they are located, accoring to your position. It shows this on a little radar map. (pretty cool)
