Sky View
Use Sky in the web UI to check satellite visibility, signal strength, and fix quality before choosing a survey location.
- Polar plot: every tracked satellite positioned by azimuth and elevation, colored by constellation — GPS (blue), GLONASS (red), Galileo (green), BeiDou (orange), QZSS (purple). Compare the plot with nearby buildings and trees.
- Signal bars: per-satellite signal strength (SNR), updating live.
- Status strip: fix type, satellites used, and accuracy at a glance.
What to use it for
- Site check — before surveying in a base or recording observations, confirm the sky view is actually as open as it looks. Tree lines and buildings show up as empty sectors.
- Troubleshooting a stubborn Float — weak signals can indicate obstruction, interference, or an antenna problem. A missing constellation can also reflect configuration or satellite visibility.
- Antenna checks — compare signal levels after checking the antenna connection and moving clear of obstructions.
