GPS STATUS
Information related to your GPS signal can be checked in the GPS Status area. Your GPS signal can be set
to Active or Off. The current accuracy of your position is estimated in meters. The exact location of your
position in Latitude and Longitude notation (i.e. degrees, minutes, seconds) is displayed. Also, the current
elevation as calculated by the Joule GPS barometer.

TIP: Your current location is listed as a latitude and longitude pair. The numbers making up the pair are in degrees,
minutes, and seconds. The letter associated with the number is a compass point, North, South, East, West. When viewing
a map, latitude lines run horizontally, longitude lines run vertically, converging at each pole, widest at the equator.
Lines of Latitude are numbered from zero degrees to 90°, north and south. These numbers can be subdivided into
minutes and seconds for greater granularity. 0° Latitude is the equator, the imaginary line that divides the earth into north
and south hemispheres.
Lines of Longitude, also numbered in degrees, subdivided in minutes and seconds. 0° Longitude is the Prime Meridian,
established 1884, an imaginary line that runs through Greenwich, England. From the Prime Meridian, the lines of
Longitude run 180° east and 180° west until they meet in the Pacific Ocean, making up the imaginary line known as the
International Date Line.
Using the Latitude/Longitude numbered pair you can describe any location on Earth. In fact, the example in the menu
above is the location of Saris Cycling Group, near Madison, Wisconsin.
