Menu Screens: The first screen you get upon power is a little man walking across the screen dropping waypoint flags. Then you are directed to the satellite screen which has a little man standing on a globe with a GPS receiver in his hand. There are 4 satellites above his head blinking and the screen says "Wait... tracking satellites". There is a signal bar at the bottom of the screen that fills in as it acquires satellites. As it is talking to the satellites, you see little gray streams from each of the 4 satellites to the little man, as they lock they turn black. It seems that you can only tell that there are 4 satellites, you can't tell much about the strength of the 4 satellites, position or anything else. The original Garmin satellite screen is long gone. When the unit has a 2D lock, the Sat screen displays "Ready to Navigate" and you see 3 satellite "streams", when there is a 3D lock there are 4 "streams". 1st menu screen: 1) Full Screen Map 2) Use Indoors 3) Stop Navigation 4) Measure Distance 5) Setup Map.
