GPS signal strength

[Anonymous]

I have a GP330B connected to my three TZTs. I am getting good position information, but when I go the the "skyview" screen the signal strength for all the satellites are slightly below or slightly above 25%. This seems low to me. Other nav systems I have used have much higher signal strengths readings. My GP330B is out in the open with a clear view of the sky. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

What is your DOP (number) showing for the GPS status?

Thanks, I will get you the DOP number.

The dop is 1. The signal strength for all satellites is between 30% and 40%.

DOP of 1 is good. The signal strengths seem to run a bit lower for the GP330B than the GP320B because of the smaller internal chip/antenna size. Your GP330B sounds perfect. I wouldn't be concerned.
