1.3.2 Stop and Go Indicators
When a static position is located, such as a point or a node (in
a line or area), the stop and go indicator is displayed as a
tripod. Once the icon returns to the walkingman, the user can
proceed to the next collection point.
1.3.3 Satellite Indicator
The satellite indicator provides text based information
including the satellite tracking angle, the number of satellites
visible (according to the almanac) and the number of satellites
currently tracked.

1.3.4 Differential Corrections
When differential corrections are received and interpreted, the
differential icon appears. If the correction is lost after 1/3 of the
selected age (see 9.8.1 "Real-Time"), an exclamation point
will appear in the lower left hand corner of the window. If it is
still absent after 2/3 of the selected age, an additional
exclamation mark will appear. If corrections are lost beyond
the selected age, a third exclamation will appear and the icon
will then disappear.
1.3.5 Memory Card Status
The memory card status icon provides a graphical
representation of the percentage of the compact flash used.
1.3.6 Battery and Time Indicators
The battery and time indicators provide information about the
current status of the onboard battery and the current time
obtained by satellites.
• Because the Battery indicator is based on a
microprocessor in the Lithium Ion battery, only the onboard
battery status can be provided in percentages.
• Because the Leica Geosystems GS20 does not rely on
internal batteries for clock function, time is only displayed
when 1 or more satellites is tracked.
