# Sky View

The **Sky** page in the Web UI is a live look at what the receiver is tracking — the fastest way to judge whether a spot will deliver a solid fix before you commit to it.

* **Polar plot**: every tracked satellite positioned by azimuth and elevation, colored by constellation — GPS (blue), GLONASS (red), Galileo (green), BeiDou (orange), QZSS (purple). Gaps in the plot are gaps in your sky.
* **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** — low bars across the board point to an obstructed antenna or interference; a missing constellation points to configuration.
* **Antenna checks** — a loose or shaded antenna is obvious here long before it shows in results.
