How do I read this screen? Is there a post about it?

What do the colors mean? Thanks.

The numbers indicate the number of satellites being traced for each signal. The colors indicate the quality of the signal strength with blue being good, green is fair and red is poor.

Hi Matt,

I think this has come up a few times in the past and rejected. The colors are not intuitive. Why not green good, blue (better yet change to yellow) fair and red as is (although it appears more like orange)? Is the signal quality correlated with the number of sats in all cases? In other words blue will always have the the most sats and red the least?

I did not choose the colors but they have to be options that have good visibly. Yellow would not show up well in the Satellite Status screen.

The colors have nothing to do with the number of satellites. They indicate the quality of the signal strength. This is fully explained in the help screen.
